The local president of the Fraternal Order of Police said in a video posted to YouTube Friday that his union has a tentative deal with the Chicago Police Department but Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office says she doesn’t know anything about it.
“I’m happy to announce that yesterday the FOP and the city’s negotiating team did come to an understanding on a financial package,” John Catanzara, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, said in the video.
“There was a lot of hard work here, I know a lot of people thought this was impossible, but all I can tell you we absolutely came to a fair agreement here,” Catanzara added in the video. “This is not giving away the house in any way, shape or form.”
