No sub required.

>But the new four-year pact − announced late last week − with the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers is the first in which $3,000 retention bonuses were awarded, along with retroactive raises, to people who no longer work for the state and may not have done so since 2020.

If anyone else is thinking of looking up the word "retention" to make sure there isn't some other definition than what you'd expect it to mean, I can save you the time and tell you that there is not.

Since the corrections officers were without a contract since 2020 the contract goes back 3 years. Had the state come to terms with the union on a contract when they should have this wouldn't even have been an issue.

Take a look at the PSA contracts across the state. They did not include the $3,000 bonus
