New York, NY - NYPD To Spend $10.4M On Overtime Because Of Strike

New York, NY - The NYPD shelled out $10.4 million in overtime costs as a result of the illegal three-day strike by the city's transit workers in December.

The total was lower than the $17 million officials had estimated, because the strike occurred during the week, when more officers are on duty. The state has committed to paying the city $2.5 million to reimburse costs of the strike, but it is unclear how much will go to the Police Department. Officials have estimated the total cost of the strike to the city's economy at nearly $1 billion.
