Citywide strike follows court ruling on police contracts
The court decision threatens to complicate negotiations with the city and its patrolmen, firemen and sanitation workers. Contracts expired January 1. The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association argues 1968 terms maintain a 3 to 3.5 salary ratio between patrolmen and sergeants. When sergeants received a raise, patrolmen demanded a $100 monthly increase to restore parity, but the city warns this could trigger endless raises and says the ratio pact was not part of a formal written contract.
