Overview <br />The predecessor agreement between City of North Olmsted (hereafter the "City" or "Employer") and <br />the AFSCME, Ohio Council 8 (hereafter the "Union") expired December 31, 2023. Representatives <br />of the City and the Union commenced negotiating a successor agreement and met approximately 4 <br />times for purposes of bargaining. Those efforts have resulted in a tentative agreement on all issues <br />which is now being submitted to the legislative body for ratification. The following outlines the <br />changes to be made to the parties' Agreement should the tentative agreements be accepted by the <br />legislative body.
