Rules and Procedures for Collective Bargaining

Rules and procedures for the 2025 collective bargaining session between the City of Sheridan and the International Association of Fire Fighters Local #276 were considered at the City Council meeting. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Collective Bargaining Rules and Procedures were approved by the Council under the consent agenda of Monday’s business meeting. City Human Resources Director Heather Doke said that the City and Firefighters have agreed to the same rules and procedures for collective bargaining that were used last year.

The collective bargaining session will take place in April and if an agreement isn’t reached within 30 days of the initial session, the  matter will then go to arbitration. The Council also approved a Firefighter Negotiations Committee composed of Mayor Rich Bridger and Councilmen Terry Weitzel, Jack Wood and Steve Brantz.
