Getting an on time 1 or 2 percent per year is something most people will take over getting a little more 15 years later, especially with the newly invented clause which states you have to be in service to get the back pay you already earned. jrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-42382145580244040412016-06-15T14:16:55.336-04:002016-06-15T14:16:55.336-04:00That is a best case.That is a best case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-45362076678377426852016-06-15T13:05:50.529-04:002016-06-15T13:05:50.529-04:00Agree with JR, if de Blasio wins reelection in 201...Agree with JR, if de Blasio wins reelection in 2017, I can see a 3 year extension for a total of 4-5 percent. 1 plus 1.5 plus 2.

I think the UFT will now accept future, on time raises of 1%, as this is the new precedent, and we now see that waiting doesnt work , because we never see the past money. So 1%-2% every year will probably be future contracts.
