The city of Boise and the union that represents the city’s firefighters have negotiated a new labor contract, establishing significant fixed wage increases for firefighters over the next few years.

The new contract, which was approved by the City Council on Tuesday, sets 9 percent wage increases retroactive to October.

The contract also includes another 7 percent wage increase in October of this year, followed by 3.5 percent increases in October 2024 and October 2025.

The Idaho Statesman reports, Juneteenth was also added as a holiday.

Under the new contract, base pay for base-level firefighters will increase to around $71,300 per year, and as high as $113,580 per year for battalion chiefs.
