Wow! A week ago we asked you to flood Gov. Josh Green’s office with messages in support of our repricing bill, which he had threatened to veto. And yesterday he signed it.
In the words of Joe Biden when he was vice president, “This is a big f*cking deal.”
The union now has a powerful tool to target specific job classes where salaries aren’t competitive and push for better pay. In the past, requests by the union to reprice job classes would continually fall on deaf ears. The previous repricing process included no way for us to appeal rejections by the Department of Human Resources Development, even though wages in most instances were not on par with the market and industry standards.
Not anymore. This new law gives us an avenue to appeal those unfair decisions and get you the pay you deserve.
For three sessions we’ve pushed for this. Today, it’s a reality, and our union is now stronger than ever. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Take a minute this evening and enjoy victory!
