Bruce Blakeman, Nassau CSEA reach tentative 13-year pact
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and leaders of the county's largest public employee union have tentatively agreed to a new contract that raises wages nearly 25% over 13 years, according to a memorandum of understanding obtained by Newsday.
The deal with the Civil Service Employees Association, CSEA Local 830, is expected to cost the county about $810 million, said a county official who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak about negotiations.
