Juneau Firefighters, City at Impasse in Wage Talks

Published 1 month ago
Description

Negotiations between Juneaus City and Borough and the local firefighters union have stalled, with the union seeking a new three-year deal. The city offers an average wage increase of over eleven percent in the first year, but firefighters argue its not competitive, especially for entry-level positions. A recent study shows Juneau firefighters earn nine to nineteen percent less than peers in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Both sides express willingness to continue talks, including bringing in a neutral investigator for wage comparisons.
