London politicians have ratified the contract for a small union representing city hall workers at Dearness Home in which they accepted a wage freeze for 2011.
The deal with Local 1.ON of the Service Employees International Union, which includes eight full-time and five part-time Dearness Home office workers, gives no wage hike this year and 1.9% raises annually from 2012 to 2014.
The deal also gives each worker a lump sum of between $270 and $520.
