City employees to receive raises

March 15, 2010

Many of Weirton’s municipal employees will soon see a little more in their paychecks. During a special meeting on Friday, Weirton City Council voted unanimously to grant 3 percent pay raises to each of the city’s employees, the first pay increase workers have seen since 2005. Non-union salaried employees, Weirton Municipal Employees Union members and police and firefighters’ pay increases were supported by three ordinances. The increases were proposed by Mayor Mark Harris. In light of legislation coming forth, Ward 7 Councilman Max Fijewski said he would have liked more time to discuss the issue with his colleagues. He stated he is in favor of granting the increases; however, he believes it was “inappropriate” that council members and the public weren’t given more notice. Seeing as how raises would not go into effect until July 1, Fijewski said he was unsure of why a special meeting was called to order to deal with the increases.
