HAZELWOOD, MO — On the night before critics of the Robertson Fire Protection District were put in charge by voters, the district’s union-backed board pushed through a new labor contract with an unusually long term.
Now the district’s new board is seeking a new labor agreement even as it and the powerful firefighters’ union are in court, fighting over that contract.
The lawsuit is one of two filed by new district board members challenging contracts that were greenlighted by their predecessors.
