What happened
Hialeah firefighters are scheduled to vote on a new labor contract after two-and-a-half months of negotiations with the city. The city proposed a two-year agreement that would provide an 8% raise in the first year, plus an additional 2% for paramedics. Union representatives stated that the city's administration has undermined the department's ability to retain qualified personnel.

Why it matters
The contract talks address the department's retention issues, as the Hialeah Fire Department has lost five firefighters since negotiations began. The proposed agreement sets specific wage increases for the municipal service.
