ORIGINAL POST:
The River City News has confirmed that Mayor Chuck Scheper and the City of Covington has reached tentative agreements with all three unions that represent public employees, possibly ending the lengthy contract negotiations. The Fraternal Order of Police may have already voted to approve its new contract (working to confirm) while Local 38, the firefighters' union, is voting tonight. The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees which represents dispatchers and public improvements workers is expected to vote next week.

The contract agreements would end nearly two years of negotiations with the most prominent sticking point being the cost of health care and the contributions from employees. Mayor Scheper has called for a press conference Friday morning at 11:00 inside City Hall where he and members of the unions will be available to comment.
