Milwaukee and Police Union Reach Tentative Contract Covering Most Officers

If approved, the voluntary pact would end a seven-week arbitration, with terms still undisclosed.

Overview

  • The City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Police Association announced the tentative agreement in a joint statement from Mayor Cavalier Johnson and union leaders on Tuesday.
  • The proposed contract would apply to a majority of the Milwaukee Police Department’s law enforcement officers.
  • Union members must ratify the agreement and the Milwaukee Common Council must approve it before it takes effect.
  • Neither the city nor the union has released financial details or other terms of the deal.
  • Milwaukee police have worked without a new contract since December 2022, and the agreement would terminate the ongoing arbitration if finalized.
