TUSTIN : 1-Year Pact OKd for Police Officers
The City Council and the Tustin Police Officers Assn. approved a one-year contract this week for the city’s 47 police officers.
The agreement, which was reached with the help of a state mediator, calls for a 7.1% salary increase retroactive to the beginning of the year. Police officers have been working without a contract since January.
Although the two sides previously had agreed to an 8.2% salary increase for the first year of a three-year contract, the police did not want to be locked into that contract with no guarantee of a modified work schedule, said Officer Patrick Welch, chairman for the police negotiating team.
