MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Police Association (MPA) says members have "overwhelmingly" voted to ratify a new labor agreement with the City of Milwaukee. 

According to the police union, the proposal provides "across the board wage increases, full retroactive pay for 2023-2025 and 15.01% compounded pay increase through 2026."

MPA says approval is still required from the Common Council.

The agreement comes after years of negotiations. 

In a statement Thursday, the Milwaukee Police Department said:

"MPD is pleased that there are new developments in the negotiation process resulting in a tentative agreement between the City and our membership. We are grateful for the work that the men and women of the Milwaukee Police Department do to keep our City safe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, weekend and holidays included."

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson agreed. 

"We struck a tentative agreement with the MPA, was happy about that and now there’s a really, really important responsibility that has to take here with members of the union and also our city council," Mayor Johnson said.
