After a marathon negotiating session in late June, we concluded talks with the city on a new economic agreement, which provides for fair wage increases worth more than 7 percent and a new paid parental leave benefit. 

The contract provides for a retroactive 2 percent raise on Sept. 26, 2017, a 2.25 percent increase on Sept. 26, 2018, and an additional 3 percent on Oct. 26, 2019. The contract’s term is from Sept. 26, 2017, to May 26, 2021.

DC 37/Local 375 has a tentative agreement on a new contract, this includes health insurance. A special membership meeting has been scheduled to discuss the new contract and answer questions. The meeting will be: Thursday, July 5th at 6 pm at DC 37; 125 Barclay St., Room 1-2,  New York. Please click here for the summary of the Tentative Agreement.
