As our union has accepted merit pay in the past of .5%, we are not willing to support an increase in merit pay beyond .5%, which would reduce the cost of living adjustment (COLA) of 3%, which all other state unions employees have agreed to.
We hope that the administration will alter their position on merit pay, so that negotiations can be completed.

The administration continues to ignore our clear stance on merit pay while stalling these negotiations. We are not backing down from our refusal to sacrifice our cost of living adjustment for their schemes.

The administration is finally feeling the heat because we refused to blink on these pathetic pay tactics. This surge in support proves they cannot continue to treat our COLA like a bargaining chip while ignoring our demands.

The administration cannot continue to try to reduce our cost of living adjustment, especially in light of increases to our insurance co-pays and most likely, our contribution to the payment.
I hope our colleagues on the other side of the bargaining table will consider that the cost of living does not adjust for any of us based on how well we perform in our positions. Respectfully, Shelly
As someone who is having enough trouble keeping up with the cost of living, I am furious about this proposal!
I don't think reducing the salary increases of the many is a good idea in this economic climate. Thank you.
I understand the rationale behind pay for performance, but I don't think it's very effective so I would be opposed to increasing it.

Merit pay seems to depend more on your supervisor or department head than it does on employee performance.
