The New Haven Board of Alders will be considering whether to approve or reject the new fire union contract, tonight. The new labor agreement will last for six years. It calls for both an 11 percent increase in wages, as well as an 11.5 percent increase in pension contributions over the life of the contract. Due to city regulations, the fire union’s contract has to be voted on by the alders within 14 days of its ratification.
