Teamsters Union Local 190 and the City of Billings have announced a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract. While both negotiating parties have agreed to the terms, the contract still requires ratification by union members and approval by the Billings City Council.
"Negotiations are always a difficult process. I appreciate the City's willingness to work with us to find a solution that reflects the hard work of our members for the citizens of the city of Billings," said Jim Soumas, Secretary-Treasurer for Teamsters Union Local 190.
The tentative agreement follows 80 hours of negotiations and four days in mediation.
"I would like to thank our negotiation team for their diligence. I would also like to thank our workforce who serves our community," said Billings City Administrator Chris Kukulski.
The City of Billings employs about 1,100 individuals, approximately 480 of whom are represented by the Teamsters Union.
