Here are our demands
Pittsburgh officials want city police officers to reduce overtime, pass physical fitness exams and continue living in the city. Tim McNulty, spokesman for Mayor Bill Peduto, would not comment on the 25-point proposal that seeks to change officers’ duty locations based on performance, cut two paid holidays and task supervisors from other agencies with determining promotions. City Council authorized Peduto to pay as much as $100,000 to Downtown labor law firm Campbell Durrant Beatty Palombo & Miller for collective bargaining and arbitration legal services.
In contrast, the Fraternal Order of Police’s contract proposals to the city included an annual 5 percent salary bonus for residing in Pittsburgh, unspecified wage increases, two additional paid holidays — Easter and Heroes Day on Sept. 11 — and a requirement to offer police union members the same economic benefits as city firefighters, who bargain separately.
