Batavia has gotten wage concessions from two more of its employee unions, in exchange for agreeing not to lay off workers in 2010.
The city council recently signed a one-year contract with Teamsters Local 673, which represents police department records technicians and community service officers. It also signed a one-year contract with International Association of Firefighters Local 3436, which represents Batavia's full-time firefighters.
The council also cut pay for other city employees. Some hourly employees will have their hours cut 5 percent.
Several water department employees lost four paid holidays - Thanksgiving and the day after, plus Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Other workers in the water and sewer departments will not be paid for eight hours of standby time for their first four on-call assignments of 2010.
The Emergency Services and Disaster Agency director's pay was cut 4.5 percent
