After the Agreement released, Government Kathy Hochul In part, he said: “My main priority is the safety of all New Yorkers, and for the last 11 days I have arranged every possible state resource to protect the benefits of repair officers, closed population and local communities in New York.”

In a letter with the agreement, the mediator Martin F. Scheinman proposed a binding “consent award” that would formalize the agreements reached in the mediation and committed herself by a court order.

He said that the prize for consent would be signed only after the court is respected.
“I will not issue a prize for consent that I believe will be unproven about judiciary,” Scheinman wrote.
The mediation agreement temporarily suspends the key provisions of the HALT Act for 90 days, with the examination of the DOCCS commissioner after 30 days to determine whether the suspension should continue. After the suspension, the “switch” staff metric metric will be carried out to prevent the 24-hour over-work changes, demanding the adjustment of the facilities if the staff fall below 70%.
The agreement also says that protest officers will be protected from disciplinary measures if they return to work by March 1, but those involved in illegal activities will face punishments. Other provisions include wages increase, recommendation bonuses, mental health support and safety screening to reduce drugs in the prison mail system.
Additionally, National Guard – who asked Hochul after thousands of officers did not show up at work – they would stay on the spot.
Stec said that repair officers believe that the contract is something the state wants to “spat on money.”
“Reading an agreement, there is a lot of debate about overtime and money, and people will always talk about money, but the incentive for it has always been about their safety,” he said.
