San Francisco local government and various unions representing public employees are close to reaching a tentative agreement after weeks of negotiations. San Francisco city employees are represented by the Service Employees International Union, the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Union, the Laborers Union, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association and Transport Workers Union. A new contract will cover over twenty thousand unionized city employees. A new contract will likely raise wages for employees despite the city of San Francisco facing a major budget deficit. The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Union stated that it expects a new contract will increase wages by thirteen percent spread out over the next three years. The current union contracts will expire in late June, and negotiations for new contracts will start at the beginning of 2024.
