School Crossing Guards Level II Salary Increase

Greetings Local 372 School Crossing Guards,

Happy New Year to you and to your families.

I have some good news for you. As you all are aware, the District Council 37 Economic Agreement was settled last year. During several School Crossing Guards Chapter Meetings and various other union meetings, we heard your Level II colleagues express to us that there wasn’t a major difference between the Level I School Crossing Guards’ hourly rate and their own hourly rate.

We heard you, we scheduled meetings, we strategized and now we have an agreement with the City of New York.

Retired from the job, but not from activism

As the year comes to a close, I am celebrating the incredible surge of worker activism in 2023. Current and future members of AFSCME and many other unions were in the streets, on the picket lines, and at the bargaining table demanding fairness and respect. I want to also take a moment to recognize and celebrate some of the most inspiring activists in our AFSCME family: AFSCME retirees.
