Mayor Ruais: Tentative agreements reached with ten City Unions

Current contracts were set to expire in June

MANCHESTER, NH - Mayor Jay Ruais announced today that the City has reached tentative agreements with all ten of the unions whose current collective bargaining agreements are set to expire at the end of the current fiscal year in June. The agreements were reached after several months of successful negotiations.

“As of today, all the unions with contracts expiring in June have voted to ratify their tentative agreements with an effective date of July 1, 2025. The next step in the process is for the agreements to be presented to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at their meeting on May 6^th,” said Ruais. “Given the City’s open enrollment period for healthcare coverage begins in early May, I am requesting that the Aldermen suspend their rules and vote on the tentative agreements at our May 6^th meeting so that open enrollment can proceed in a timely manner with no disruptions.”

Ruais added, “I want to thank our Director of Human Resources Lisa Drabik and the City negotiating team along with the union representatives from AFSCME, Teamsters, IAFF, MAFS, and PPSA. Their good faith bargaining regarding these new two-year contracts is the reason we were able to reach agreement months before the old ones expired. These City unions represent employees who keep Manchester running 24/7, including those at Police, Fire, Public Works (Highway, Facilities, Parks, and Environmental Protection), Central Fleet, Health, Airport, Library, and Welfare, the very backbone of our City. Additionally, I want to thank our Aldermen for their continued commitment to our city employees, and the taxpayers, over the course of the negotiation process.”

Background:

The City of Manchester currently employs some 1,300 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Of those, approximately 860 are in union-covered positions which calculates to roughly 2/3 of current employees being in positions covered by union agreements.
