Mobile Retirees Get Long-Awaited Pension Boost | Mobile News

Mobile’s police and fire retirees are celebrating a long-awaited win: the city council approved a cost-of-living adjustment after decades of waiting, finally honoring promises made since 2008. The move comes after the city cleared a massive pension debt, freeing up funds to support retirees for the next 30 years at a cost of nearly half a million dollars annually. Retirees like Jerry Hatch, who served 25 years with Mobile Fire-Rescue, say it’s a meaningful step toward recognition for their service. While this is a major victory, retirees still push for restored benefits like dental and vision insurance — proving the fight for fair treatment isn’t over.
