Tuesday's DN: Municipal Union Contracts Up Today

Contracts for four municipal unions expire today and all eyes now turn to Harrisburg to see how state budget negotiations there will impact the city's five-year financial plan.

The Fraternal Order of Police is seeking through binding arbitration to drop the long-standing requirement that police officers live in the city.

While unions and the city haggle over salary and health care, the head of the Philadelphia Housing Authority enjoys a $42,693 bonus on top of his $284,625 salary.

Did you have trouble calling PhillyClout or City Hall yesterday?  You were not alone.
