The deal negotiated directly between striking New York corrections officers and the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision appears to have had only limited success, with 11 prisons considered “off strike” by Friday afternoon but thousands of COs still off the job at other facilities.
The deal came together Wednesday night into Thursday after the widespread rejection of a mediated deal outlined by DOCCS, union officials and a state-appointed mediator last week. As details of it started to go out to COs, the union that represents those officers said it wasn’t properly involved in the negotiations and advised its members against accepting the new deal or returning to work by 6:45 p.m. Friday.
