Council advances multiple collective-bargaining agreements covering port, nursing and fire employees

Cleveland City Council on July 28 read ordinances approving collective-bargaining agreements with several union units and related changes to the city compensation ordinance. Ordinances listed in the meeting record include: Ordinance 9 67 20 25 (International Longshoremen's Association Local 1317, 04/01/2025–03/31/2028), Ordinance 9 68 20 25 (Ohio Nurses Association Local 85, 04/01/2025–03/31/2028), Ordinance 9 73 20 25 (International Association of Firefighters Local 93, 04/01/2025–03/31/2028) and Ordinance 9 74 20 25 (treasurer's and ticket sellers union local 756, covering two periods including 04/01/2025–03/31/2028). The ordinances include amendments to sections of the city's compensation ordinance (ordinance 1 94 20 21) to reflect agreed wages and classifications. The transcript lists the collective bargaining ordinances under first- and second-reading sections and pairs each agreement with the relevant amendment to the compensation ordinance. The meeting record shows multiple procedural votes later in the session moving packages of legislation forward, but the transcript excerpt does not attach a single, explicit roll call to each individual bargaining ordinance in the text provided. The ordinances, as described, authorize the city to approve the respective collective-bargaining agreements and to amend the codified compensation ordinance to implement the negotiated terms. The transcript does not report specific contract terms, dollar amounts, or cost estimates in the public portion of the meeting.
