1. Oakland’s two major unions representing civilian employees have reached a tentative deal with city officials that would provide raises for the first time since 2007, the Trib reports. Under the deal — which must be ratified by rank-and-file workers and the city council — city employees would receive a 2 percent pay raise immediately and a 1 percent raise next summer. The pact also does not include employee concessions on health care and pension costs that Mayor Jean Quan had originally sought.
