Update on Collective Bargaining Negotiations

Feb. 3, 2023

DC 37 Family,

We’re pushing to secure better benefits and higher wages for you– our members who run New York City. We won’t stop fighting until we get the contract you deserve.

We made significant progress pushing the union’s priorities forward during the last bargaining session with the city on Jan. 24. Negotiations are headed in the right direction thanks to DC 37’s Bargaining Committee, but we need your help to put more pressure on the Adams Administration.
