Contract Grievances

We have reached the final settlement on our 1st contract grievance concerning the calculations of your regular rate of pay when working “Constant Staffing Overtime.”The total for the back pay is $53,687.77. The CSOT repayments was on the March 6, 2012 check.  On a go forward basis, the City will pay backpays on a quarterly basis.  The first quarterly back pay will be on the check received on June 8, 2012.  It will be for any CSOT worked from January 14 through pay period 10 that ends on May 4, 2012.

An agreement was also reached regarding apparatus staffing overtime not previoulsy being paid as ECOT for TCU Football Games.  Based on the settlement, all pre-planned apparatus staffing will be paid as CSOT.

As always, should you have any questions concerning a grievance, or the possibility of a grievance to file, please contact any of your Local 440 E-Board Members including the Grievance Committee Chairman-Mike Skains.

Fort Worth ratifies first-ever labor agreement with Firefighters

Jan 07, 2011 (21:59:00)

April 14, 2010

In November of 2007, the citizens of Fort Worth voted to give collective bargaining rights to their firefighters. One year later, IAFF Local 440 was recognized as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent and negotiations began. After 16 months of negotiations, the membership of Local 440 ratified the tentative agreement on April 3rd. It was approved by the city council and signed on April 13.
The agreement locks down 4-person staffing, current pension benefits and current healthcare benefits (including retiree healthcare). Wage increases are the equivalent of 8 1/4 % over 3 years and include a new Longevity Supplement pay.
