The union members say they went to the meeting to give the governing body an update about their ongoing contract negotiations with Mayor Dwayne Warren's administration. They said they have been working without a contract for the last seven years, despite the fact the council specifically allocated funds in the 2014 and 2015 Calendar Year city budgets to resolve the issue.
