However, we do not know for sure what the inflation will look like between 2023 and 2026 so this is a projected loss of income.<br /><br />I think this is a bad deal for organized labor since it serves as a pattern for the other unions. However their minimum hourly rate is being increased from $15 per hour to $18 per hour.<br /><br />Other unions can look at this and make an effort to negotiate for much better starting pay, working conditions and pension benefits.<br /><br />This is not a fair contract. What does a fair contract look like? <br />The contract negotiated by the Montefiore and Mount Sinai nurses is<br />a fair contract: " “We are pleased to offer a 19% wage increase, benefits that match or exceed those of our peer institutions, more than 170 new nursing positions and a generous plan to address recruitment and retention." (The City)<br /><br />We deserve and need a 19% increase right now and not in little pieces going out to 2026. The 19% immediate increase should then be followed by annual increases matching the previous years' inflation rates.<br /><br />The DC 37 contract is crap and you all should know it.<br /><br />In order for organized labor to get a fair salary adjustment for the high inflation of the last two years, we would need to join together and go out on strike. Shut down NY city. The Taylor Law is a Human Rights violation. We have a right to strike because we are being economically strangled by NY city. Without the will to organize together and the will to go out and strike we will suffer a permanent 10% pay cut.Anti-UFT Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729567638469424828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-14559255892245518782023-02-19T18:58:12.471-05:002023-02-19T18:58:12.471-05:00We obviously been abandoned by both political part...We obviously been abandoned by both political parties.

Check the deficit under Trump - the biggest jump in history. And inflation mostly a result of covid. They blame Biden for the stimulus but ignore the stimulii and checks sent out under Trump signature. <br />China major supplier -- and supply lines.<br />Plus the Trumpies argue out of both sides of their mouths. Bring back jobs to America but ignore fact we don't pay Chinese wages so of course prices will go up. In fact the low inflation over the past 20 years is due to outsourcing jobs to low waged workers.
