Everett police, firefighters will get 10% raises in 2023
EVERETT — Labor unions representing Everett police and firefighters have struck agreements with the city on new contracts providing wage increases to members for the next three years.
Members of the Everett Police Officers Association, Everett Police Management Association and Everett Firefighters Local No. 46 will receive a 10.1% wage increase in 2023 to cover increased cost-of-living expenses, among other benefits, according to a document provided to City Council members.
The Everett City Council unanimously authorized Mayor Cassie Franklin to sign all three contracts at their Dec. 14 meeting. The current collective bargaining agreements will expire on Dec. 31, at which point the new agreements will take effect through 2025.
City spokesperson Simone Tarver said in a statement that city staff prioritized keeping pay for first responders competitive while maintaining good stewardship of public funds.
