MORGANTOWN – Fifty-one Morgantown firefighters have filed a demand with the city’s civil service commission seeking a mandatory public hearing about a $2,000 annual reduction in pay. The firefighters, all professional members of IAFF Local 313, filed the demand against Kim Haws, the new city manager. They say the pay cut is a retaliatory move after the union refused to accept the city’s offer to settle a holiday pay case in January. In March, Haws sent a memo to all city employees stating firefighters no longer would receive shift differential pay for working the afternoon and/or midnight shifts. Morgantown firefighters work 24-hour shifts. The loss of differential pay amounts to $2,000 per year for each firefighter.
