As many of
you may have heard, the City administration is planning to hire a consulting
firm to perform a "wage study" on its workforce (aside from police
and fire). The Mayor and Cammi say that they want City wages to be
competitive in the market, to retain and lure quality employees, but
historically, these studies result in higher wages for "management"
positions, and wage freezes and "red-circles" for many of the
non-management positions.
The
proposal to hire "Carlson Dettmann" to conduct this study will go to
the City Council. This proposal was not even put before the
Human Resources Committee, as most any proposal regarding employees, benefits,
or wages normally would. I ask you to please show up for the City Council
meeting on Tuesday June 3 at 6:30pm . We need to show strength in
numbers, so please pass this along to your co-workers and like minded
friends. This isn't a "union/non-union" issue - this should be of
great concern to all City employees, and taxpayers - as this consultant will
cost the City about $30,000, PLUS expenses!!!

this very company:
