Can't complain, it won't make a difference. Just gotta see if the union is able to convince him to take other measures, which they will be addressing with Pqatterson in the upcoming week

don't worry too much about the raise, nothing is certain but I have it from highly placed sources that the Unions have already told him to go piss in his hat, they will not re-open the contract negotiations.

Those raises are part of your contract, he has no ability to not pay them.

Our PEF rep told us the same thing, he said that it would be horrible to set the precedent of re-opening a contract for discussion, but still that tax on 'gars

The high cost of living is what drove my wife and I to move to NC. We both made very good money there but still felt like we practically lived paycheck to paycheck. We love NC and when some of my clients back in NY ask me when I am moving back I simply answer "Never!" Will be back this week and it will be my first time back since we moved over a year and a half ago. Only thing I miss is the food.

My Union still has no contract with the state. We are presently going through Binding Arbitration. I'm crossing my fingers but, not expecting much.
