The San Antonio Professional Fire Fighters Association on Tuesday announced a campaign that, among other things, targets the city manager.
Calling it the “San Antonio First” campaign, union boss Chris Steele said his organization is partnering with others — ranging from the COPS/Metro Alliance to former local tea party president George Rodriguez — to seek voter signatures on three separate petitions, all calling for changes to the city charter.
The union is seeking a charter amendment that would force the municipality into arbitration rather than litigation when there’s an impasse over collective bargaining agreement negotiations between the city and its public-safety unions.
