Dormont Council Approves Final Union Contract
Council approved the fourth and final union contract on Monday for borough employees.
Dormont Council on Monday approved the desk officers union contract, making this the first time in nearly 10 years that all of the borough’s union contracts were negotiated without going to arbitration.
“I can say that is truly an outstanding task, especially to be able to achieve that with four contracts,” said borough solicitor John Rushford.
Contracts for the police, laborers union, and teamsters union were approved and signed between September and December.
