Yale’s police union held a rally during Bulldog Days to call attention to its ongoing contract negotiations with the university, which have lasted over two years. Officers handed out flyers to admitted students and families, urging support for improved wages and benefits. The union says delays have made it harder to recruit and retain officers, though Yale Public Safety disputes that claim. Yale’s latest offer includes a 17% raise over five years, but the two sides remain split on issues like drug testing and disability benefits. The union accuses Yale of trying to undermine support by messaging officers directly. A new bargaining session is set for this week.
