      Daniel Pollock, First Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Labor Relations, testified about the city's efforts to improve recruitment and retention in the municipal workforce through collective bargaining. He highlighted significant wage increases, new equity funding initiatives, and flexible work pilots as key strategies to address staffing challenges.

      • The current round of bargaining (2021-2026) includes 16.21% wage increases over 5 years, the largest in over a decade
      • A new equity funding initiative allows up to 1% additional funding for units with demonstrable recruitment and retention issues
      • Flexible work pilots, including remote work and compressed work week options, have been implemented across eligible agencies
