Raises Voted In Defiance

Defi­ance City Coun­cil met on Tues­day night, and among the items on the table, were poten­tial raises for non-union city employ­ees.

The Cres­cent News reports that an emer­gency ordi­nance approved by coun­cil, will give the city’s non-union employ­ees, which does not include elected offi­cials, a 1.5 per­cent raise in pay this year.

The increase is in line with raises given to employ­ees of the city’s three unions.

The leg­is­la­tion will become law upon the mayor’s signature.
