The city has reached a tentative $5.5 billion contract agreement with the Police Benevolent Association, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Wednesday.
marking the second major labor deal his administration has negotiated with the city’s public sector unions and the first with one of its uniformed unions.
When announcing the deal during a press conference at City Hall on Wednesday morning, Adams — a former NYPD captain himself — said that, given the importance of public safety to New Yorkers, he understood the need for providing a fair contract to the department’s uniformed officers. “I’ve done this for a day or two and I’ve stood outside this building and came up with creative chants and held many signs,” Lynch said. “I must say it’s better and more productive to be inside the building with all of the folks who played a part in this.”
Lynch also applauded the new flexible work pilot program, which would allow cops to work longer shifts on fewer days. The pilot is starting in four different precincts: two in the Bronx, one transit district and one housing service area. “It’s important to note that they’re working the same number of hours per year, they’re just making fewer appearances,” the commissioner said. “So, the way the chart is staggered, public safety is not compromised in any way. We’re actually able to have more officers during peak times, school dismissals, rush hour, because of the modified charts.”Lynch said the altered schedules will allow cops to spend more time with their families and “decompress.
