Outrage over arbitrator's decision to give BPPA 25 percent raise over 6 years

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – There's outrage over an arbitrator's decision to award members of the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association a hefty raise.
    
According to the Boston Herald, the decision will be unsealed Friday and gives officers a nearly 25 percent pay hike over six years. The newspaper says that could add up to more than $125 million.

City Council President Stephen Murphy is calling for a hearing next week to grill the city's chief labor negotiators on the contract.
