| Justus James and Cathy Allen |
It's a three year deal for the years 2015-2017. Corrections Officers will receive a 4% raise this year, starting July 1. Next year, everyone will get a step increase, which translates to a 4.5% raise. Those who are the top of the scale will get a $1,200 lump sum payment. In 2017, there will be another 2% increase. Roughly, it's a 10.5% raise over three years.
AFSCME union agent Justus James, who was at the June 17 Personnel Committee to explain the agreement reached with corrections officers, appealed to the full Council to vote on another four union contracts that have been approved. But as Ken Kraft explained later that evening, the Administration needs time to work on the wording. The vote on those contracts will take place on July 1.
Deputy Administration Director Cathy Allen assured the Personnel Committee that the 5% raise on those contracts will start on July 1.
All five contracts will place a $550,000 dent in this year's budget.

more union greed
Really? And some non union employees got 10-19% yearly raises! You are just a union hater! Get a life!!
@12.25 you really should check your facts. No non union employee has gotten 10 to 19 % raise. You must be smoking dope !
A waste of money if you ask me. The gaurds are overpaid as it is. All they do is sit and watch TV. Is that really worth 60 thousand a year??? There are more important people in the county workforce that deserve raises. The unions are ruining the county and will one day run it into the ground.
@12:49 Miss Allen got a 19% raise and she's non-union, so who's the one smoking dope??????
They should pay them more for having to deal with the likes of Brown,Keen,Kostura, Crivellaro and Collins and the other bullshit they have to deal with on a daily basis.
