The city of Warwick is suing the local fire fighter's union claiming that the city overpaid department employees by almost 400 thousand dollars.
The error was because of an April 2013 memo which led to the city miscalculating payments and sick time to firefighters and retirees.
Mayor Frank Picozzi says that the city is looking for the courts to declare null and void the memo and to repay the over payments.
Picozzi says rank and file firefighters are not at fault here. They had nothing to do with the miscalculation.
