NYC Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president Patrick
J. Lynch said:
“All police unions should be advocating to be paid like
police professionals rather than playing the City’s attrition
bargaining game. The PBA does not accept the city’s premise
that a raise must be paid for by giving up hard fought benefits
or extending working hours. Any union leader who accepts that
premise shouldn’t be representing police professionals
who risk their lives every time they go to work. While the PBA
doesn’t comment on other union’s contracts, we will
correct the record for our members when other unions disseminate
misinformation in order to cover their inability to deliver
a decent contract.”
