The City Admin of North Little Rock has set a meeting date with Local #35 to negotiate a contract for 2011.

The first meeting for Contract Negotiations is scheduled for November 10th, 2010.  It is notable that in prior years, these negotiations have always begun late (after the end of the year), usually with the City Admin citing financial uncertainty as a reason for delay.

With the first meeting being scheduled in a timely manner, and the appearance of a recovering economy, we are looking forward to possibly closing a contract for 2011 that is beneficial to all parties.

UPDATE MARCH  2011:  The first meeting has concluded, with both sides agreeing to meet again to begin finalizing a Contract.  The City has implemented the first of three 1% salary increases scheduled for 2011.
