"I'm a single mom with four kids. I have a kid in college, and I cannot supervise all these officers making more money than me - and I have to be responsible for making all the decisions," NYPD Sergeant Yahira Lopez-Gonzalez said.
"It's crazy," NYPD Sergeant Tiffany Howell added. "We've been patient but patience doesn't pay the bills. We have cops making more money than the ones who are supervising."
SBA President Vincent Vallelong said about 1,200 NYPD sergeants are earning far less than the police officers they supervise. "Why would you want to take this job with more responsibility and less pay? Nobody would," Vallelong said.
Adams, during his fourth annual State of the City address, gave the protesters a shoutout, vowing the city would reach a deal with the union. "And yes, we are going to settle a contract with the SBA. Trust me we will," he told the crowd.
