Still no deal between Paxton, city workers' union

PAXTON – After more than 3 1/2 hours of discussion in closed session, the Paxton City Council is still not prepared to vote on a proposed contract with its newly unionized city workers. Instead, aldermen voted to adjourn the special meeting to 7 p.m. July 7 to continue talking about the proposed contract with Teamsters Local 26.

City Attorney Bob Martensen has been negotiating with the union on the city's behalf.
