STEUBENVILLE — Steubenville Council will vote next week on a new, three-year contract for the city’s AFSCME employees.
Council emerged from executive session Tuesday to sunshine an ordinance accepting the proposed contract with American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 2015, which holds the line on wages at least until July.
“There’s no pay increases for the first year,” City Manager Jim Mavromatis said.
“We asked them to hold off 180 days going into this year because COVID is destroying the economy, we’ve got businesses that may not bounce back. We have to see where we’re at.”
