Peabody cops will pocket extra pay to work Sept. 11 or take a day off, thanks to a new union contract.
Even though the date commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America is neither a state nor federal holiday, officers who work it will receive time-and -a-quarter compensation, while others will have the option of taking the day off, said Manny Costa, president of the Peabody Police Benevolent Association.
One 9/11 victim’s brother, contacted by the Herald, voiced disgust.
“I’m really shocked,” said the brother, who asked that his name be withheld. “They’re just taking advantage of a tragic event for their own gain, and I don’t appreciate it.”
