Court of Appeals of New York
In the Matter of City of Yonkers v. Yonkers Fire Fighters, 48
The exception contained in Retirement and Social Security Law article 22, section 8 does not apply to the Collective Bargaining Agreement at issue here, so that the non-contributory pension benefits to which firefighters were entitled pursuant to the CBA are prohibited by article 22, despite the Triborough Law. Therefore, the arbitration sought by the Union is barred, as an impermissible negotiation of pension benefits, by Civil Service Law section 201 (4) and Retirement and Social Security Law section 470.
