NYPD sergeants union signs new labor contract
New York Police Department’s sergeants union is signing a new labor contract with City Hall.
The deal, announced Thursday, comes after months of friction between the union and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The union’s head, Ed Mullins, called the mayor “a total nincompoop” in mid-December. He said de Blasio needed “to humble himself.”
The rift was caused by de Blasio’s handling of anti-NYPD protests that swept the city after a police officer was not indicted in Eric Garner’s chokehold death.
