Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia) recently commented on the newly announced pay raises for correction officers in New York. The New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association, Inc. (NYSCOPBA) announced they reached an agreement on a new three-year contract with the state earlier this spring. In addition to wage increases, the contract includes new bonuses, reduced health care costs, and up to 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
Hawley believes this new deal is a step in the right direction toward supporting correction officers.
