(Davenport, IA) -- A Teamsters official says some Davenport Public Works employees are sharing an apartment because they can't afford their own on their city salary.
The union representing Davenport Public Works employees are rejecting a 1% offer from the city made yesterday.
Davenport ranks fourth in Iowa for public works wages, with an average hourly rate of $24.29.
The current contract between the city and the Teamsters Local 238 expires in June.
