Some companies do give COLA raises, but some give raises for good work, or by contract, or other reasons it is not mandated why to give raises. COLA raises are not required. What the TWU & SEPTA agree on for pay raises is up to them. I know my stuff on this as I have dealt with payroll and negotiation for years.Your a school teacher right? Well, the UFT I know negotiates raises for the teachers and it was more that just a COLA raise. I know this as 1 of my two jobs is with a DOE contractor and I get to talk to many teachers who tell me this including a UFT steward. These workers for SEPTA deserve raises just like the NYCT workers, but I am balking because their demand for lower pension contributions is rediculous when many are either losing all or part of their pensions or don't have one at all. I also think their lucky to have just a 1% healthcare is great I pay 35%. They should have taken the original deal and ran away with it. |
