A charter amendment that would have stripped San Antonio's police union of its right to collectively bargain with the city, was defeated by a narrow margin Saturday.
About 51 percent of voters opposed Prop. B, with 49 percent supporting it, according to the final tally.
Voters’ rejection of Prop. B notched a significant victory for the San Antonio Police Officers Association, which first gained collective bargaining in 1974. It and the city are in midst of negotiating a new contract.
Opponents framed the proposition as a way to "hold police accountable."
