[...] the unions have a deal with the state until 2022 regarding pension and health benefits. [...] a pattern for possible pay raises for unionized workers might already have been set for the upcoming negotiations because of the ratification of a new three-year contract with state police troopers, whose pay will increase by 9 percent over three years.
