The de Blasio administration has reached terms on a new contract with Teamsters Local 237 covering 1,350 Maintenance Workers—roughly 1,000 of them at the Housing Authority, with the remainder scattered among various mayoral agencies—that fits the basic city contract pattern but also includes extended hours for HA staff in return for a four-day workweek and additional compensation.

If ratified by the union’s rank and file, it would run slightly over four years—retroactive to Dec. 17, 2017 and expiring Jan. 1, 2022—with raises of 2 percent retroactive to Jan. 17, 2018, 2.25 percent retroactive to last Dec. 7, and 3 percent effective March 17, 2020.
