New Jersey has reached a reached a four-year, $84 million labor contract with a corrections officers' union, according to Gov. Phil Murphy.
The governor announced the deal with the Policemen's Benevolent Association Local 105 on Tuesday.
The agreement is retroactive from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019 and covers about 5,200 employees.
Murphy says the current year's $37.4 billion budget accounts for the costs.
The agreement restores salary increments that were frozen under former Gov. Chris Christie's administration.

Murphy says the contract was earlier ratified by PBA Local 105 members.
