In Youngstown, some good labor news for city residents. By a two-to-one margin, firefighters voted for a one year contract extension, which means a wage freeze until September of next year.

According to Chief John O'Neill, this puts the city in a position to look at fire department staffing levels. The chief calls the agreement a "bold, positive move on the unions part".

The contract affects 136 firefighters.
