Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and Human Resources and Labor Relations Director Attorney William Mahoney announced today that the NAGE Local 1-021 has agreed to their merit bonus pay. NAGE Local 1-021 represents approximately 12 members of the city’s Building Inspectors Union.
Mayor Sarno states, “I want to thank Human Resource and Labor Relations Director Attorney William Mahoney, Cabinet Heads, and the Union leadership of NAGE Local 1-021 for working together and negotiating this merit bonus pay in good faith. I am pleased to announce that the union leadership of NAGE Local 1-021 has signed and returned their merit bonus pay agreements, per collective bargaining law and Human Resources statues. The members of the Local 01-021 that have been identified as going above and beyond throughout this COVID-19 pandemic will be rewarded with an amount that can reach a maximum of $5,000 – with no exceptions. Again, we have been and will remain consistent with our merit pay in rewarding all of our brave and dedicated city employees for going above and beyond. I am proud to say that, I believe my Administration is one, if not the only one in the Commonwealth currently extending and issuing this extra benefit. We will continue our fair review process and distribution of these merit bonus pay allotments for our city side employees.”
