– Members of AFSCME District Council 47, the city’s white-collar union, on Wednesday ratified a new three-year contract, Mayor Kenney said.

Under the agreement, members will receive a 3 percent pay raise retroactive to July 1, 2017; an increase of 2.5 percent starting July 1, 2018; and 3 percent again on July 1, 2019.
Starting Jan. 1, 2019, members will contribute more toward their pensions based on their salary and whether they are current or new members to the unions.
