As one result of its new contract, the fire department can no longer offer overtime pay on weekends.

 

The sentence above is correct, but I don’t understand. How come the fire department equals one result, since I think they are not the same? Plzzz, help needed. Thanks a million.

The 'one result' (change) relates to the contract. The result/change means no extra wages/money for the fire department.
