Firefighters reject city's proposal

Lawrence firefighters yesterday rejected the city's initial proposal of a 3 percent wage increase.
Mike Lindman, president of Local 1969 of the International Association of Firefighters, told city regulators that he continues to ask for a 19 percent increase.
I twelve percent of that increase would be a cost-of-living adjustment, Lindman said, and 5 percent of the increase would help employees to prepare for the wages of other city employees.
"I in view of a 13 percent increase in the cost of living, the city's proposal is more reasonable," he said.
But Kewn Burt, city employee relations director, said the city intended to stay within federal guidelines of 7 percent for wage increases. President Jimmy Carter announced the voluntary guidelines in October, 1978.
BURT SAID the "total package" of wage increase, insurance benefits and incentive schemes.
"We intend to join the team to fight inflation," he said.
Lindeman said firefighters were requesting the 10 percent maximum because, under the city's proposal, persons who already were receiving a 5 percent incentive payment would not be able to receive money for the development of additional skills.
The firefighters also refigured the city's initial proposal of guidelines for a skill incentive program. The program offers incentive payments to firefighters who develop special skills related to fire service, personal investigation and safety instruction.
Jim Wooldy, vice-president of Local 1598, called the guidelines "ridiculous."
The city proposed that firefighters who have served at least 42 months be eligible for a maximum skill incentive payment of 5 for each with no stipulated minimum payment.
Also debated were proposals outlining health insurance coverage for firefighters (b
Burt proposed that the city agree to increase its contribution to $2.50 for dependent health insurance but the firefighters rejected the proposal and requested that the city agree to pay $50 or 100 percent of costs, whichever is less.
BUT THE FIREFIGHTERS requested that firefighters who have served at least one year be eligible for a minimum investment in their equipment and a maximum payment of 10 percent.
The groups tentatively scheduled a follow-up meeting for Thursday.
Burt said the city did not specify a minimum payment because "the kids are worth more."
