NEW YORK (AP) - New York City firefighters want what the city's police officers have won: a retroactive raise of nearly 10 percent.
The firefighters' union said it will fight for a retroactive raise covering 2004 to 2006. New York City's police officers won a raise of about 9.7 percent at an arbitration hearing for those years.
City Labor Commissioner James F. Haley said that if the other unions agree to the concessions police officers' agreed to, they would likely receive the same raises.
Other unions representing civil servants, like correction and sanitation workers, could also seek raises.
