LEWISTON, ID — LEWISTON – Lewiston Firefighters Local 1773 welcomes the recent ruling by the District Court of the Second Judicial District, which mandates that the City of Lewiston enter into mediation-arbitration as outlined in the firefighters’ collective labor agreement. The union had called for this process months ago as a fair and cost-effective way to resolve the ongoing labor dispute.
In November 2024, Local 1773 formally proposed mediation-arbitration, as defined in their labor agreement, emphasizing that it would save taxpayer dollars and allow both sides to work toward a cooperative resolution in an ongoing contract dispute.
