Rolla City Council members tonight face a full slate of activity when it convenes at 5 p.m. for an executive session to discuss union negotiations among city workers, and in open session members are expected to hear an impeachment consideration for one of its own.
The regular meeting convenes at 6:30 p.m.
Rolla City workers last month won the right to unionize, voting to join the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Sixty-one city workers voted 47-14 to unionize. Leading up to the vote and since, city workers have been talking to SEIU officials and council members are expected to discuss the union this evening during their executive session.
There is no action on the union scheduled, according to the agenda presented Friday.
