Over 200 Memphis city workers protested demanding Mayor Young sign union MOUs, citing broken promises and ongoing legal battles.
Over 200 union members from Memphis city workers protested at City Hall on October 21, 2025, demanding Mayor Paul Young sign memorandums of understanding (MOUs) that formalize collective bargaining agreements.
Unions representing police, fire, sanitation, and other public employees criticized the mayor for breaking campaign promises and refusing to recognize MOUs, which they say are essential to fair negotiations.
The city argues MOUs are nonbinding and has filed lawsuits challenging past agreements and a new police rank, while unions counter with legal actions and highlight financial hardships faced by workers.
Councilwoman Jerri Green expressed disappointment, and union leaders urged compromise to avoid further litigation, stressing the importance of protecting public workers’ rights.
The mayor has not responded.
