Unionised City Police Officers Vote On New Contract

A 30 month contract agreement has been approved by unionised police officers in the city who say they're doing all they can to help during these times of tight budgets.

They have agreed to no wage increases this year and next with just a 3 per cent hike effective July 1st of last year.

The President of the Saint John Police Association Jamie Hachey tells CHSJ News they're no longer opposing changes to the city's pension plan requested by Common Council.

This new contract means police officers in the city will no longer be the best paid in the province.

They, along with the Police Commission, are asking Common Council not to make any changes to long term disability.
