Summary
Mesquite ratified a three‑year collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 14 covering firefighters and fire captains for July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028; city staff and union representatives described the negotiated contract as fair and recommended approval.
Mesquite — City Council ratified the final collective bargaining agreement for Teamsters Local 14 covering firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and fire captains for the term July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028.
City staff and union negotiators told council the process involved multiple stakeholders and a mid‑process administrative change but concluded with an agreement they described as fair and balanced. Staff thanked the union negotiator, Grant Davis, and union stewards for the professional negotiations.
Representatives of the union and members of the public who spoke during the item encouraged council to approve the agreement; one commenter noted firefighters’ compensation is not unusually high and urged support. Council moved and ratified the agreement on the Sept. 9 consent calendar of action items.
Next step: staff to implement contract provisions and continue coordination with the fire department and Teamsters Local 14.
