Danbury officials to vote on union contract for police

The Danbury City Council is slated to take up a union contract tonight.  It includes a 2.75 percent raise for Danbury Police officers each year through 2021.  There are two retroactive pay raises because the old contract expired last summer.  City officials say the raises are in line with what other unions get.  The new agreement also has a stipulation that new hires must contribute to their own pension fund and health insurance plans.  Current officers have to pay 4.5 percent into pensions, but new hires will pay 8.  The new hires will also be part of the city’s health savings account insurance plan, which has not been required in the past.
