Lieutenants Match PBA 2.25% ‘Extra’ Raise With $3G ‘Differential’

The Lieutenants Benevolent Association has negotiated a differential totaling $3,049 for all members with at least five years in the rank as its form of matching the 2.25-percent additional raise secured by the Police Benevolent Association three years ago.

The union obtained welfare-fund increases of $100 for active members and $166 for retirees on top of the 7.95-percent raise it negotiated last month as part of a coalition of eight uniformed unions. It was required, in order to even out the city’s costs, to extend its contract by three months and 15 days beyond the three-year agreement reached by the coalition. The terms still must be ratified by the union’s rank and file.
