City of Houston

March 26, 2008

City Council passes new employee contract.

Houston_hopeWhen the historic contract between the employee's Union and City Council came up for a vote today, Mayor Bill White asked the usual:  Any comments?  There was dead silence.. a rarity in City Council chambers.  So he asked again, and finally, council member Toni Lawrence spoke up.  After that, the flood gates opened, and every city council member spoke up about the employee contract.  In the audience, a group of city employees who spent months negotiating the contract stood beaming.  In the end, Lawrence and Mike Sullivan voted against the contract, and it passed overwhelmingly.
