McArdle.
“I believe we accomplished a lot in this three-year agreement within a few weeks at the table. We had some major issues to deal with the Town of Cohasset from the “Wages” to the “Quinn Bill”. Our members were patient and their patience paid off as we were able to achieve increase in from anywhere between 14 to 20 percent over the three-year period. The local was able to increase the percentages in educational incentive for all current who have any type of college degree, not just in criminal justice. For all further members of the department whose degree is eligible under the “Quinn Bill” standard shall receive those percentage increase also. The detail rate will jump $23 dollars over these three years. We also succeed in maintaining a strong collective bargaining agreement.
