"[A]pproximately 3,000 [Chicago police officers ] are required to cut a check to their pension fund, plus interest.... As part of the new contract for Chicago police officers approved by the City Council in late 2023, union members received a 2.5% base salary increase that applied retroactively to the start of 2022. 'The city did not withhold the correct 9% of members' salary and duty availability pay for the required payment,' according to a post on the fund's website.'
