Dodging a possible strike, Cleveland snowplowers, laborers win wage increase in new contract with city
Downtown during winter. Snow plow workers, among a half dozen other types of city laborers, scored a massive win this weekend in contract negotiations.
The deal, which affects hundreds of city workers, includes 103 seasonal workers and 177 full-timers in waste management, employees in the parks division, parking enforcement workers and those in animal control. More than 70 percent of seasonal workers voted in favor of the contract, along with 83 percent of full-time unionized workers.
Dan Chavez, a reporting secretary with Teamsters 507, said that the pandemic's impact on essential workers—pretty much the entirety of 507—was a key factor in strategizing for wage hikes since the previous talks in 2020. Roughly three months before the win, as talks warning about a strike wafted around City Hall, some 50 union members protested at 601 Lakeside Avenue, pressuring the city to give them a similar wage hike to what the city gave Cleveland police — 11 percent over three years. Among inflatable rats and 18-wheeler trucks, as Cleveland.com reported, were signs reading"STOP THE WAR ON WORKERS," and"ESSENTIAL WORKERS DESERVE RESPECT.
