CONTRACT-RETRO PAY

You are not going to be happy!! I know I'm not!
Go to the NYS Comptrollers website and read the Retro pay announcement. There is also a letter there to CO's from the Comptroller.
www.osc.ny.us
you must click on press releases.
The main facts are:
RETRO pay--April 2007
August 31, 2006---- $7500 if you were in grade 14 for the entire award, prorated for each month if you were a new hire during any part of this award
Sept. 28, 2006--- $820 uniform and sled back pay
Remaining retro and any money owed from 7-1-06 to 3-31-07 paid on 4-01-07
You will not see your raises in your check until 4-01-07
The Comptroller also states that no DUES INCREASE(11%) will be taken from your pay until all retro pay is payed.

The press release and letter to CO's states that President FLIMFLANAGAN had asked the State Comptroller to withold this information from the membership.(who he supposedly represents)
I think we should all with hold our dues money, and pay agency shop fees until FLIMFLANIGAN resigns. Simple to do-see the Payroll clerk for an agency shop fee card. Its not like NYSCOPBA has our best intentions at heart!

Sorry for the bad news. Its time to get serious about our jobs, and run chow, companies etc. by the book.
Another victory by the State-pay more health insurance, take a paycut.

HANG TOUGH-become INVOLVED and we can be STRONGER!
