State Workers. State contractors got 3% raises last year.
You deserve no less!
Demand Contract Justice. Take the Contract Pledge!
Despite the state’s fiscal crisis, New York State was able to find the money to hire more high-priced deputy commissioners and spokespeople, as well as provide base raises of more than 3% to their contractors in 2003!
Even President Bush provided base raises of more than 3% to federal employees last year, and has another raise planned for 2004.
Dozens of the state’s most cash-strapped cities and counties also negotiated base raises of more than 3% for their employees last year.
Here’s what you can do to make a difference for you and your family.
Tell the governor that we’ve earned a fair contract.
Take the State Workers Contract Pledge
now!
The State Workers Contract Pledge:
I will not accept a contract
- That does not have a base wage increase in each year;
- That has significant health concessions including increases in
premium percentages;
- That diminishes the health insurance benefits of present or future
retirees; and,
- That does not provide cost-of-living adjustments for high cost
geographic areas.
Signed, ___________________________
