The Village of Chatham Police Department and UPSEU have agreed to a new contract. As a result of the agreement, all members will receive a substantial dollar raise for 2014, as well as percentage raises for 2015 and 2016. The parties also agreed to an amount of available hours for patrols.
The officers now have seven holidays at time and a half, which are additional days from the previous contract. A clothing allowance raise for all members was also achieved. COPS Division Coordinator Jack Rogers and the members of the department worked together to successfully bring the contract to completion. Mayor Thomas Curran and Village Administrator Barbara Henry were very helpful as well.
The Chatham Police Department is one of our newest members of our continually growing COPS Division. They were previously represented by CSEA and voted unanimously to join United Public Service Employees Union COPS Division. We welcome them and look forward to working with the Department and the Village.
