PITTSBURGH — A lawsuit filed by Pittsburgh Fire Bureau captains, battalion chiefs and deputy chiefs against the city which sought more than three years’ worth of overtime pay has been settled, according to a document filed today in U.S. District Court.
Terms of the settlement were not revealed in the document. Attorneys for the firefighters and the city could not be immediately reached. Three firefighters filed the lawsuit and 50 others opted in, claiming that the city owed them overtime since mid-2009.
According to the complaint, since that time they have not only had to fight fires but also respond to medical and other emergencies.
