Note From Chief Bradley: MOFD and Firefighter's Union at Impasse
We'll be following up on MOFD negotiations with the firefighter's union this week, but wanted to present Chief Bradley's advance notice of an impasse in negotiations.
Moraga-Orinda Fire District Chief Randy Bradley says there are two proposals in front of the firefighter's union Local 1230 but that, so far, negotiations have stalled and no successor agreement for the Memorandum of Understanding which expired in Jan. 2010 has been reached.
In a release from Bradley forwarded to Patch on Friday, the chief says MOFD's priorities continue to be provision of service to the citizens of the district -- while addressing "unfunded liabilities caused by the spiraling cost of health and retiree health benefits, to limit health benefit costs, to move future employees to a more sustainable pension benefit formula, and to provide an overall level of compensation that is within the District’s financial constraints and budget."
