Police Contract Negotiated: 2% Raise for 1st Year, 2.5% for Next 3 Years
|
The union representing 48 Darien police officers ratified a four-year contract with the town that increases wages 2 percent in the first year and 2.5 percent in the next three and eliminates unused sick time for new employees. All members of the bargaining unit will be moved into a high-deductible health insurance plan ($2,000 for the employee or $4,000 for the employee’s family of two people or more). The police union ratified the contract on Wednesday, Sept. 30, and the Board of Selectmen is scheduled to vote on it on Monday. The Representative Town Meeting’s approval will be needed before the contract goes into effect.
