A random walk through Google hits on "Town Worker raises" yields the following:
Chatham, MA 7% cola this year, 8% next year (unions have refused to reopen negotiations for signed contract)
Norwood, MA 2.5% COLA+ Longevity bonus
Pembroke, ma 1.5% COLA+ Longevity Bonuses
Newton, MA 1-3% COLA, varies
Edgartown 3% COLA
Andover, MA 8.5% Cola (over 3 years, 2007,2008,2009)
Rockport, MA 2% COLA+Merit bonuses
Danvers, MA (DPW workers agree to forgo 3% in return for zero layoffs, teachers union-no deal)
Tewksbury, MA (Teachers) 4% cola (Teacher raises have been growing everywhere in Mass at a much higher rate than elsewhere in the country....goood for them, but don't cry poor mouth)
Upton, MA annual COLA (not clear what rate)
Needham, MA 2.5% COLA ("Historically growth has been 4 percent to 4.5 percent annually, said Fitzpatrick. And Needham can afford the 2.5 percent increase that it has agreed to with the four unions that have already negotiated their contracts for the upcoming fiscal year.")....WAGE FREEZE NOT LIKELY
WOW, one can see why Deval is so anxious to hold local aid harmless!....they've got a lot of raises to pay for (not to mention how politically appealing layoffs of state employees must be to a Governor whose popularity is sinking like a stone)
Well, you get the point, I grow weary of looking these at these raises amongst the municpal unions..... They have unions that are standing by their negotiated contracts (unlike NAGE.)
Stand up on your hind legs for once and VOTE NO on these concessions..... take a page from the book of the municpal unions, grow a back bone for god sakes.... the adminsitration intends to throw you under the bus anyway, don't take it with a smile from these prevaricators!
