Message from President
Michael DeMarco

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

As our current collective bargaining agreement approaches its conclusion, we now begin a new chapter. The start of negotiations is more than a contractual process—it is an opportunity to build upon the progress we have made together and continue improving the lives of every member of Local 1455 and the DC37 family.

Our last contract demonstrated what can be accomplished when we stand united. Together, we secured a five-year agreement that included a $3,000 ratification bonus, compounded wage increases totaling 16.21%, retroactive pay, premium-free health insurance for members and their dependents, increased contributions to our Health & Welfare Fund, investments in child care, enhanced transit benefits, the creation of committees to address flexible work arrangements and pandemic preparedness, and new pathways to address recruitment, retention, technology, and equity concerns. Those achievements were not given to us—they were earned through solidarity, determination, and the collective strength of working people.

Today, we face a new round of negotiations with a new City administration. While leadership may change, our commitment to protecting and advancing the interests of our members remains constant. We will enter these negotiations with the same determination that has guided us in the past, while recognizing the new challenges facing our workforce.

Our priorities are clear. We will fight for competitive wage increases that keep pace with the rising cost of living, stronger job protections, improvements to health and welfare benefits, expanded opportunities for career growth and training, safer working conditions, and policies that recognize the essential work our members perform every day. We will also continue advocating for fair staffing levels, investments in modern equipment and technology, and workplace flexibility where appropriate, while ensuring that no member is left behind as our workplaces continue to evolve.

The work performed by Local 1455 members is essential to keeping New York City moving safely and efficiently. Whether maintaining critical infrastructure, responding to emergencies, or supporting the City’s transportation network, our members deserve respect, recognition, and a contract that reflects the value of their service.

As negotiations begin, your unity and involvement will be more important than ever. Strong contracts are built not only at the bargaining table but through the solidarity of an engaged membership. We will keep you informed throughout the process and encourage every member to stay involved, stand together, and support our bargaining efforts.

While we are proud of what we achieved in our last agreement, we know there is still more work to do. Every contract should leave our members stronger than before, and that remains our mission. We will approach these negotiations professionally, firmly, and with the resolve to secure the best possible agreement for every member.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and dedication to our Union. It is an honor to serve as your President. Together, we have accomplished great things, and together, we will continue building a stronger future for Local 1455 and every working family we represent.

In Solidarity,
Michael L. DeMarco
President, Local 1455
