The end of the longstanding contract negotiations will cost taxpayers $103 million through 2027.
Staten Island Ferry captains will soon set sail about $1 million richer under a new deal inked with Mayor Eric Adams after working more than a decade without a contract.
“I wanted to make sure we did this right, so we celebrate people who keep our city going, keeping our city moving in the right direction,” Adams said at the press conference on the slip of the St. George Ferry Terminal. Under the deal, about 150 ferry workers who run the free, daily ferry service out of Staten Island will receive 13 years of back pay and see an increase of tens of thousands of dollars in their base salaries, according to city and union officials.For captains, among the highest-earning mariners, salaries will more than double — leading to a roughly million-dollar payout in back pay for the dozen currently on the books.
