Update on Insurance Unfair Labor Practice (ULP)

As was discussed last year, the executive board has moved forward with a ULP due to the increase in our medical insurance. Over the summer, our ULP did go to mediation and we met with the city again in early August. We are in the process of trying to come to an agreement with the city.
