"During this fiscal crisis and news of the state's labor-management conflicts, it's rewarding to be able to sit down and amicably resolve a situation through collective bargaining that's beneficial to the sergeants of the state police, the division of state police, and the people of the state of New York," Mungeer said in a release.
The agreement, in part, answers Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's call for cost savings from state employee unions, said State Police Superintendent Joseph A. D'Amico in a release.
"Working collaboratively with the PBA, we arrived at a solution which takes into account New York's difficult economic situation to maximize resources without creating additional costs," said D'Amico.
The PBA represents nearly 3,400 uniformed members of the New York State Police from the rank of trooper through the rank of major.
