Mayor Eric Adams reached a tentative 5-year $4.4 billion contract deal with District Council 37 (DC37) on Friday, which will cover close to 90,000 city employees.
The tentative deal, which takes effect retroactively starting May 2021, will last until Nov. 6, 2026, and includes raises of 3% per year for the first four years and 3.25% for the final year. The agreement also includes establishing a committee to discuss how to incorporate remote work into union members’ schedules.
