  • IMPORTANT: JOIN the PLAY FAIR RALLY for PARKS TODAY MAY 26 at CITY HALL at 10 AM
    SUPPORT DC 37 PARKS WORKERS and NYC PARKS, SIGN the PLAY FAIR PETITION We need your help to win the fight for Parks funding and jobs. Join the Play Fair Rally TODAY Thursday, May 26 at City Hall, 10 to 11 AM. This is our final push for 1% of the New York City budget for Parks. City parks are essential for all New Yorkers. DC 37 and the Play Fair Coalition are in a crucial fight for Parks to receive 1% of the City budget and for hundreds of essential Parks jobs to be baselined. Mayor Adams’ executive budget places NYC Parks funding at just 0.6% of the total city budget, well below the 1% he repeatedly committed to. Our city’s parks will experience significant strains on staff and resources, as they have for the past 40+ years of underinvestment. This comes at a time when New Yorkers are relying on parks, beaches and open spaces more than ever before, both for mental and physical health during the ongoing pandemic and as our best line of defense against climate change. Join the final Parks Budget Rally May 26 to demand 1% of the city budget for NYC Parks maintenance [...] — May 26

  • DC 37 NEWS UPDATE
    TIER 6 PENSION UPDATE Tier 6 has been updated to allow public sector employees, including those in Mayoral agencies, NYC Health and Hospitals, NYCHA, DOE, School Construction Authority, Transit Authority, CUNY and the State to vest in the pension after 5 years instead of 10 years. Employees still need 10 years to be eligible for medical coverage. There is no change to the pension formula, time required to get to a full service pension, or calculation of benefits. All employees in Tier 6 pay a percentage towards their pension based on their salary, for their entire career. Another change is that overtime will not be subject to the contribution rate, temporarily, for a two-year period of 4/1/20 to 3/31/22. As more information becomes available we will share that with you.
