Retro pay is here! 

If you haven't heard already, retro pay has been issued to employees in Comp 1 and Comp 2 Bargaining Units (that includes 2401). This is retroactive pay that is due to employees due to Mayor Bowswer suspending the pay raise we were entitled to receive in 2020. If you are paid on Fridays, you should be able to look in Peoplesoft to see the retro pay that you will receive on 12/3/21. If you do not see retro pay listed on your pay stub, talk to someone in HR immediately! 

This is why we have a union! In addition to fighting for pay increases for every year of our 2017-2020 contract, we had to CONTINUE the fight when the Mayor suspended our raise due to COVID in October 2020. 

When talking to your coworkers, please point out that our contract raises, and the ability to FIGHT to make sure we get them, are ONLY possible because we have a union. UNIONS ARE THE ONLY WAY THE WORKING CLASS CAN STAND TOGETHER IN THE WORKPLACE AND HAVE AN EQUAL SEAT AT THE BARGAINING TABLE WITH MANAGEMENT. Tell them that the more members we have, the more powerful we can be! (FYI, the union is currently negotiating a new contract with the District) Increasing our membership is the best way to show Bowser and her team that we all are willing to fight for the pay and working conditions we deserve!
