City Rejects Recommendation On Raises For Police

DAYTON, Ohio -- The wage dispute between city commissioners and the Dayton's police union will go on after recommendations from an independent fact-finder were turned down.

The recommendation was to provide Dayton police a 1 percent wage increase and no mandatory unpaid leave -- officials with the Fraternal Order of Police said they were willing to accept those terms. 

Dayton, which announced last month it was facing a mid-year deficit of $4 million, has asked all city employees to forego their 3 percent raises and take four days of unpaid leave to help make up the difference.  The police and firefighter unions have both rejected those terms so far.

City Manager Rashad Young said the issue will be put to another third-party arbitrator and he will go along with whatever is decided.  Young also said the same method will likely be used for the fire union.
