The Fairbanks North Star Borough and its biggest public employee union continued to disagree on multiple issues, including wages and paid leave, at contract talks Tuesday.
The union is seeking for the borough to provide 80 hours of paid leave for employees during catastrophes, pandemics, weather events, emergencies, unanticipated events or shutdowns. The borough is proposing to provide 40 hours of administrative leave to members who are not called to work due to a public disaster.
âI think we are being very generous offering 40 hours,â Michelle Michel, borough human resources director, told union negotiators.
âYou keep saying that but you are not being generous,â responded union negotiator Rita Heselton.

Trees spreading Christmas spirit
Cllr Ron Ower, Derham Gardens, Upminster, writes:
In these difficult times it’s great to point out what wonderful communities we have in Havering.
Here in Upminster and Cranham we are very pleased with how active our community is!
We should have seen this year the 10th Christmas Tree festival at Upminster Methodist Church. As they were unfortunately unable to hold this local residents were invited to purchase a tree and erect it in their own front garden and create a community festival around our local streets .
