Well it looks to be 99.9% official now Teamsters backed COs left out of extra compression raises. So we get the same raise as any state worker making under 40k. That will cost me about an extra $ 1,800. We will continue to be left out as long as we have the Teamsters who won't spend the dues money the right way to have any pull whatsoever with the Florida legislature leaders ,besides not knowing what they are doing, who will be in place for a few more years at least. The PBA at least plays the game no matter who is in charge and even a change in Governor wont change anything because the legislature creates the budget not the Governor - he just has a veto pen which can only take things not give them.
"House and Senate budget negotiators Saturday agreed to raises for state workers, the first in six years.
The deal would provide a $1,400 pay hike for state employees who make less than $40,000 a year and $1,000 for those who earn more than that.
In addition, bonuses of up to $600 would be available as merit incentives, which would be available to up to 35 percent of employees.
In a move sought by Senate budget chief Joe Negron, R-Stuart, the pay package unveiled Saturday includes an additional 3 percent pay raise for law enforcement officers working for state government, and another 2 percent pay hike for officers with more than five years’ experience.
Negron said he wanted to raise salaries to help retain experienced officers, who are often hired away by municipal police forces once they get trained by the state."
