New York corrections officials offer striking prison guards deal over objections of union leaders

State leaders announced a final offer to striking prison workers, which includes reinstating health benefits and limiting shifts to 12 hours until normal operations resume.
A committee will be established to evaluate the effects of the HALT Act on staff and inmates, according to the agreement announced by Commissioner Daniel Martuscello.
Commissioner Jackie Bray warned that this deal would not be offered again and stated that the state would take action to end the strike if needed.
Martuscello emphasized his commitment to the workforce and declared he heard directly from correction officers about what was necessary for their return.
