Patience isa Virtue

Getting aContract is

a ReliefBy:

Peter D.MeringoloPresident

/ uiant to thanl: the entire membership for your patience andunderstanding during the long process to obtain 0/./1' recent COII-tract. It was not an easy bat tle. as YOIl are ioel! atuare, but itwas a battle worth the fIght. f am pleased that as of I IOW, webaue our new contract and all back money that was due to OUrmembers has been paid.It's 110 secret that this past round of bargaining, highlighted

by givillg tip the unborn, was something the CCA did no t want to partake ill. However,reached a point where it was incumbent UPOIl us to acbieue {or you a contract that contained tsame pay raises as other unijormed forces received - even i f it meant having tv play the Citgame.We tried extremely hard to ge t a COl/tract without sacrificing [uture hires coining into the ran

However, based 011 the patten! set before us, there was absolutely 110 choice. l ioi]! always belieit was the City's and the Departments obligation to protect the future hires and they didn 'tthat. As expected, they let us flown again .

11/ settling our contract, we inflictcd the least amount o f pain possible, while working our wtbrougb this roun d of bargaillillg. The oueriohelming ratificatioJJ result of 94 percent is prothat the meinbersbip was satisfied with what we were able tv achieve.The good netus i l l "II this is that IIJe haue 0 11 1' neur cont ract and el.'eryone is happy they ha

their money. The slightly bad news is that this contract expires at the end of 2007 and we bato st art t hi s process ouer again ill just {f few short months , Hopefully ill the upcoming roundbargaining, the City won't be so tough. They have already taken blood (1'0111 {/ stone, so thisn't much more for them to go after:We recently completed our 16th Delegates Sennnar: WId once again, it was a huge successwas pleased to welcome the f irst time Delegates and appreciated their ilJput and entbusias

There is always something ncto to learn at these seminars, and every'olu' who at tended walkaway with a new appreciation of the Union's ius

LINE OF DUTY INJURY (LODI) FICA REFUNDSTheCty has reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service regarding FICA [Social Securit y

and Medicare) tax refunds to eligible uniformed members of the Correction, Fire, Police andSanitation Departments. The years covered by this settlement are 1989-2005.

Eligible uniformed members of these Departments who were on authorized line of dut y injury (LODI)leave at some point during these years will likely be eligibl e for a refund of the FICA taxes

paid on LOOI payments received for six months or less. LOOI payments received for greater thansix months have previously been exempt under a separate statutory provision and

thus are not part of this refund.In order to collect a refund in connection with this settlement, eligible Correction Uniformed membersmust submit a signed consent form to the City allowing the City to collect the refund on your behalf.

Once the IRS refunds the money to the City, the City wi ll then send it to you. Without a signedconsent form, you wil l not be able to partic ipate in th is settlement. In addition, you may

be forever barred from collecting a refund of these amounts sin ce your time for filing an individualrefund claim wi ll likely have expired.

TheOffice of Payroll Administration is currently preparing letters to send to anyone who mightbe affected by this sett lement. The letters, which explain the refund process and the years for whichyou might be entitled, should be mailed by the end of the year. Enclosed with this letter will be theconsent form you're required to sign and return to the City. Th is consent form MUST be returned

within 60 days from the date of the letter. The deadline will be indicated in the letter itselfTheOffice of Payroll Administration has obtained maili ng addresses from the City's Payroll Managemen

System. If you believe your address on file might be incorrect, complete the change of employee addressLOOI Fica RefundClaim form. which can be found at www.nyc.gov/html/opa/html /home/hame.shtml

For any questions regarding the FICA refund, you can call (212) 6692333or you can v is it www.nyc.gov/html/opa/ html/ faqs/ lodiJaq .shtml
