As you I�now, tkze Union {8 employees in Public Works) settled for a zero Cast of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for 2011 and for a 1% COLA increase in 2012. Part of the rationale for the zero increase in 2011 was beca�se in 2010, when they were in the 3rd year of a 3-year contract, they rec�ived a 3% COLA increase. {This contract was completed in late 2007 when there was no recession in sight.) In 2410, when the Union received their 3% COLA increase, alI the no�-union emplayees (16 emplflyees) did not get any increase for COLA.
