Per NBC 5’s Stephanie Gorin: Nyscopba Union employees and all unionized workers in NYS are not getting the raise they expected this month.
BREAKING:
Nyscopba Union employees and all unionized workers in NYS are not getting the raise they expected this month.
CORRECTIONS OFFICERS in NY say Governor Cuomo’s office told them their raise is not happening because of #covid19 costs. The state will reassess in a few months.
The union responded quickly. Saying in part this news is
“…yet another slap in the face to the brave men and women in law enforcement and those on the front lines of keeping order in our state’s prison system and our mental health facilities. Our members are working day and night and are subject to some of the most dangerous conditions in the state.
With hundreds of our members testing positive for COVID-19 and hundreds more quarantined, the risks are real.”
NYSCOPBA PRESIDENT MICHAEL POWERS GOES ON TO SAY: “…Simply put, we will not stand for this… It’s time for the Governor and the State to step up and rightfully compensate our members.”
