$1.00 an hour raise, split in august and february. probably will look to take away your overtime premium for the day after thanksgiving by eliminating that holiday. and watch out but the health insurance may take some kind of hit that we would never expect. what have you done for brown?
I've been saying this for decades. Negotiate raises in percentages, not cents per hour. Seems so simple, but yet the union seems to be stuck in the 70's?We've gotten smaller raises over the last two contracts so I would assume the trend would continue.
Three contracts ago our raises were ~3.1%
Two contracts ago our raises were ~2.7%
This last contract our raises were ~2.1%
They never do the math for you like that because it would make you see the reality. Instead they say they are going to give us the same raises to make it seem like you aren't getting less. But if you do the math we get less and less every year, but the stock holders and management get more and more.
This is the Brown Cafe website, not Wells Fargo Cafe.They get rewarded for the good stuff...no punishment for the screw-ups.

I don't know, don't some locals have holidays like Election Day that pay holiday pay?Black Friday will be just another work day in 2018.
Any changes to our healthcare will be initiated by the Union, not the Company.
My Business Agent tells me I am lucky to have a job. So does the Center Manager. Sometimes it is hard to tell the two apart.Even our business agent last contract said "you're getting the same raises, it's not like you're losing out." So I did the math for him which was followed by 3 seconds of blank stare and then an "ooooohhhhh!!!"
