We are happy to announce that there is an agreement in place between the City of Gainesville and Local 2157 to implement the safer staffing model and move to 24/72 shift schedules. There will be informational meetings upcoming and the ratification process. Contact any member of the eboard for further details.

Today members of the Local 2157 District Chief bargaining unit agreed in principle to a new labor contract. The agreement includes implementation of a 24/72 shift schedule starting sometime next year. The Chiefs will now have the opportunity to vote on the contract and present it to the city council for ratification. Next step will be working on the general contract. This represents a large step forward; however, the process is ongoing and there is still work to be done. More updates will follow, any questions please reach out to E-Board members.
