COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Columbus police officers and supervisors voted on and approved a new union contract with the city of Columbus.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
CPD officers and supervisor bargaining units voted over four days.
The contract was recommended by a fact-finder from the State Employment Relations Board after the Fraternal Order of Police and the city couldn't come to an agreement.
The contract calls for decreasing the pension pickup but offsetting the effects with wage increases.
Gilbert said the contract includes a 5.5 percent raise over three years of the contract and health care stayed the same.
FOP President Jim Gilbert said 1,032 ballots were cast from the officer rank and 183 ballots from the supervisor rank.
Gilbert said the membership did not reject the fact finder’s report, which means that the Dec. 12, 2008, to Dec. 12, 2011, contract will move forward and be signed by both the city and the union.
City council did not vote on the fact finder’s report Monday night, which effectively serves as acceptance of the report.
Gilbert said the FOP is satisfied that the statutory bargaining process has been completed and its members look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of Columbus.
