The mammoth, nine-year teachers-union contract will be paid for by trimming $1 billion in medical costs, claimed Mayor de Blasio.
Yet budget watchdogs said the plan needs a check-up.
City Hall officials insist the savings can be achieved without asking teachers to contribute more dollars toward their health care — by centralizing aspects like prescription drugs and conducting audits.
The city would save $3.4 billion over four years if all the unions agree to the modest changes for the entire municipal work force, the mayor said.
But Carol Kellermann of the Citizens Budget Commission said de Blasio let the United Federation of Teachers off the hook.
"The health-cost-savings part leaves a lot to be desired," she said.
"The city should have gotten 25 percent of the cost of the premiums from the workers. That would have been $1 billion a year," she said.
De Blasio said he was "very confident we can achieve these savings," before admitting that no concessions were obtained from the UFT work force to cover medical costs.
