Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Dinkins Announces Raises for Workers
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Financially ailing New York City and two of its biggest unions reached agreement on a retroactive 15-month contract that calls for a 3.5% pay hike for the first year and an additional 1% for the remaining three months. Mayor David N. Dinkins also told a City Hall news conference that a wage freeze would be imposed when the new contracts expire later this year. The contract is not expected to widen the city’s expected budget gap of about $1.6 billion for the fiscal year beginning in July, 1991.
