The Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association has sent its members for ratification a tentative contract deal that mixes elements of the 2018 agreements the city reached with District Council 37 and the United Federation of Teachers but uses a uniformed differential that speeds payment of the raises while extending the pact to improve fringe-benefit terms.
Should the roughly 6,600 members sign off on the terms, they would receive raises of 2.25 percent retroactive to Jan. 20, 2019, 2.5 percent as of Jan. 20, 2020, and 3 percent as of Jan. 20, 2021.There would be a $405 increase in the five-year longevity step, to $2,000, and a $705 upgrade in the 20-year step, to $5,000, that would both be retroactive to Jan. 20, 2019.
