(NEW YORK CITY) - Communication Workers of America (CWA) Local 1180 and the Adams Administration have reached a tentative contract agreement that, in addition to providing raises, would establish a flexible Work Committee much like the one enacted by American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) District Council (DC) 37 earlier this year.

The retroactive pact, which runs from December 13th, 2021 through June 12th, 2027, follows the wage pattern that was set by the DC 37 deal earlier this year - it includes four annual 3% raises, a final 3.25% raise on December 31st, 2025, and a $3,000 ratification bonus. 

The contract, which must still be voted on by the Union’s Membership, covers about 8,200 Supervisors across every City Agency, including Administrative Managers, Principal Police Communications Technicians, Associate Call Center Representatives and Assistant Directors.

“Local 1180 Members are part of the Essential City Workforce that provides services to all New Yorkers who count on us every day to make sure they have what they need,” CWA Local 1180 President Gloria Middleton said. “I am pleased we all worked together to negotiate in good faith to bring our contract to conclusion.”

If enacted, the deal will allow the Union and the City to create a Flexible Work Pilot Program.

DC 37 launched a similar pilot program in June allowing qualified Members to work from home two days a week.

The pact also increases the Union’s Welfare Fund contributions and expands the number of Workers who will be entitled to experience differentials, longevity, recurring increment payments and annuity contributions.
