In "NAGE-Speak" they are raises..... but you already paid for them, and then some, with the furloughs.
Your furloughs amounted to about a 1.6% pay cut (for a long term employee) taken out over 5 pay periods, now you'll be paid back 1/2% over the next 12 months (remember you were entitled to that 1% a year ago... now it's being spread over two years... that's 1/2 of 1%)..... and NAGE calls that a raise!
Layoffs will continue....
What about the line of crap from NAGE about accepting the furloughs in order to spare NAGE members from layoffs?...... just more BS from Burgin Parkway.
Well Prez Holway, exactly who, and how many, and where were "spared"???
.... the silence is deafening from Burgin Parkway, as usual..... they've got nothing to say, because its pure unadulterated BS....and they know it.
If they could actually produce any truthful figures about how many were spared lay-offs they'd be crowing about it on their sham of a website.

Ask the Boston firefighters union how they calculate raises .... they are getting their full 19% retro back to the begining of their contract, and now they are sitting down at the table again..... NAGE just rolls over with NO RETRO and allows the administrations to set clock forward for another 3 years with no penalty (except to the members) for their dishonest and dilatory tactics at the table (doesn't matter whether it's republican or democrat.... doesn't matter whether state revenues are in decline or at an all time high surplus)..... NAGE just rolls over.....
