The Santa Fe Police Officers Association is suing over claims the city breached a collective bargaining contract.
The Santa Fe Police Officers Association filed a lawsuit March 28 in the Galveston County District Court against the city of Santa Fe, citing a failure to bargain in good faith.
According to the complaint, the city implemented a wage freeze of city employees in January 2012 that was "unfrozen" in January 2013. The plaintiff says the police employees were not advanced on the pay scale as detailed in a 2012 CBA contract between the city and the Police Officers Association.
