UNIONDALE — Members of Nassau’s Corrections Department attended a Nassau County Interim Finance Authority meeting Monday to ask when the county’s three-year wage freeze will be lifted.
As News 12 has reported, the county recently gave out about $800,000 total in wage increases to appointed and non-union workers. NIFA has ordered the county to rescind or “claw back” those raises because the watchdog group says the county can’t afford it.
The corrections workers say that they deserve raises, too, as the cost of living continues to rise.
