The Star: The agreement with Local 42 of the International Association of Firefighters is effective retroactive to May 1 and extends through April 30, 2012. It calls for all 900 firefighters to accept a wage freeze and work three extra days without pay, allowing the city to avoid firefighter layoffs.
