City of San Bruno Continues Good-Faith Bargaining Despite Negotiation Impasse with Police Unit
The City remains committed and available to reach fair and sustainable labor agreements with all employee groups.

San Bruno CA - At a Special City Council meeting on Tuesday March 3 2026, the City's negotatiors received authorization to declare impass in its negotiations with the San Bruno Police Barganing unit. The action was taken because despite the parties reaching a tentatiove agreement, the police union members voted to reject the agreement.

The City of San Bruno employs nearly 290 full-time equivalent staff who serve a community of about 45,000 resid3ents across 5.5 square miles. These employees represented in five bargaining units by Teamsters Local 856181 and Teamsters Local 350 IBT provide critical public safety and community services, many around the clock.

All five labor contracts expired on December 31 2025. Since August 2025 the City and its labor partners have engaged in good-faith negotations consistent with State law. To date agreements have been reached and ratified with three of the five units - covering roughly 75% of the City workforce. These agreements were with the fire unit and the City's civilian bargaining units.

Following more than six months of barganing the City and Teamsters Local 856 IBT Police Unit jointly agreed to participate in voluntary mediation in January 2026 with a neutral state mediator from the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). Through the mediation process the tenative agreement provided total compensation increases between approximately 19 and 22% over a three-year period for Police Unit classifications.

Despite further mediation efforts in February the parties were unable to reach resolution. On March 6 2026 after over six months of good-faith efforts and a rejection by the Police Unit of the parties' tentative agreement, the City declared an impass. Impass under the state public sector baragining law is a formal recognition that negotiations have reached a deadlock and that additional bargining sessions are unlikely to produce agreement at this time.

Although the parties have not yet reached agreement the City appreciates the continued profressionalism and services of all its employees, said City Manager Alex D. McIntyre. We remain committes to a respectful and transparent bargainoing process that balances the interests of employees, residents, and the long-term health of the organization. We continue to be available and it is our hope that the City and Union can reach an agreement soon.
