Mayor Adams' tentative, eight-year labor deal with the police union gives roughly 23,000 uniformed NYPD officers yearly raises as high as 4% and a pilot program that would enable them to work as many as 60 fewer days a year in return for longer shifts.
Donate NowMayor Eric Adams on Wednesday will announce a tentative labor agreement that gives roughly 23,000 uniformed NYPD officers yearly raises as high as 4% and a pilot program that would enable them to work as many as 60 fewer days a year in return for longer shifts.
The proposed settlement resolves protracted negotiations that had gone into arbitration, and helps Adams — a former police officer who has prioritized public safety — mend a relationship between City Hall and the NYPD that had become strained under his predecessor Bill de Blasio.also comes at a moment when NYPD officers have been leaving the force in record numbers. The union has cited the search for better pay as one of the reasons for the exodus.
The plan, which is intended to give officers more time to recharge between shifts, has been used by police departments in other cities.The arrangement is not expected to cost the city any additional money. The practice of so-called “pattern bargaining” means that those raises will now serve as the framework for other uniformed unions, including firefighters and sanitation workers, who are also seeking contract extensions.first labor deal
