Greetings!


If you have not yet heard the good news, the Port Authority (PA) reached contract settlements with the following unions: TWU, BTU, IOUE, IBEW, CWA, FS, and FM .

We posted all the details about the distribution of:

1) retroactive pay from the PA, and
2) how the PA is working with the New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS) to ensure that affected retirees (and employees) receive all the compensation due them based on updated earnings reports the PA is providing to NYSLRS.



More good news:
  • the PA announced that the members of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association voted to ratify a new labor agreement;
  • it also reached tentative agreements with the Sergeants Benevolent Association, the Lieutenants Benevolent Association, and the Detectives Endowment Association; and
  • it reached a tentative agreement with the Union of Automotive Technicians (UOAT).

When we receive further details about the settlements of these new agreements, PARA will send another eBulletin and post the details on our website .

Because not all PARA members have signed up to receive these eBulletins , which is the fastest way for members to receive breaking news, we ask that you pass this information along to people you know who would be affected by this very important and good financial news for these union members.

We wish you all the very best at this special time of year and wishes for a healthy and happy new year.

Thank you for being part of PARA.
