Marshall McClain, president of LAAPOA, said the association is ‘happy to finally get to this point.’
The Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association announced on Monday, Sept. 25, its members approved a labor contract with the city of Los Angeles that will provide “equitable salary and benefits” to its public safety officers.
“It sends a clear message from Mayor Karen Bass and her administration that she stands behind her commitment to elevate and compensate minorities, women and other disenfranchised people when they have received the same education and training and have risen to equivalent levels as other contemporaries in their profession,” according to a statement from the LAAPOA.
According to LAAPOA, the new deal includes overall parity with salaries and benefits of the contract with the union representing L.A. Police Department officers. However, the difference in the increases do not impact the city’s general fund or city taxpayers, since LAX officers are paid from landing fees.
