Final Chance for Class Comps: PCL’s financial proposals are well underway. While our wage demands on pay increases are based on members' needs and the City’s proven ability to pay, we will support those demands using wage class comparisons. Specifically we are focusing on financially comparable regions such as Seattle, Tacoma, and Sacramento but all relevant info is welcome. If you know of comparable work whose wages highlight our need for raises let the Bargaining Team know.  Email your class comps to liuna483@liuna483.org.
