On the
May 1 municipal election ballot is Proposition B. It would repeal collective bargaining for the police union. Supporters say this would allow the public to have a say in future police contracts. Opponents claim this will make it harder for the department to recruit and maintain officers.

San Antonio – With no deal in sight on several key issues, the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Police Officers Association have agreed to extend their contract talks through May 12.
The original 60-day window for collective bargaining ends on April 27, and Monday was the last bargaining day in their original schedule. By agreeing to a 15-day extension, the two sides can keep the talks going. The current contract runs through Sept. 30 and has an eight-year evergreen clause.
