About 3,000 city workers stayed off the job again Monday despite the both sides in the labor dispute agreeing to formal mediation.
The workers represented by SEIU Local 1021 and IFPTE Local 21 have been striking since last Tuesday. The labor contracts expired in July. According to the union, representatives from city and the unions are scheduled to meeting with a mediator at 10 a.m.
That last offer by the city included a 4 percent raise in the first year of the contract, another 1 percent raise guaranteed in the second year and another 1 percent raise contingent upon the city hitting certain revenue milestones. The union rejected that offer.
