After nearly two years of fierce negotiations, the City Council on Tuesday announced it finally struck a tentative contract with the union representing roughly 382 council staffers, giving the covered legislative employees long-sought raises and workplace protections.
The yet-to-be approved deal between the council and the Association of Legislative Employees (ALE), which was formally recognized in 2021, covers council member aides — who perform a variety of duties from communications to legislative work — as well as analysts and senior analysts within the Council Finance Division.
