Negotiators
In reference to 6/8/2021 Closed Session - Special Meeting Conference with Labor Negotiators:
The City of Anaheim offered General Management, Professional/Technical, and Confidential Unit employees a 10%
package over one year ago… but because the City dragged its feet in negotiations our MOU was caught up in the COVID-
19 pandemic and not finalized.
Because we did not get the 10% package that was offered in early 2020 we have in effect taken a 10% pay cut.
We have not had a fully funded range adjustment since June of 2009, 12 years ago
.
With inflation we are making less in real dollars than before the Great Recession. During the City budget update last
December City Full-Time Staffing is down from 1,946 employees, to 1,724, a loss of 222 full-time employees
(11.4%). The City asked us again to do more with less and WE have stepped up during COVID-19 to fill the gap.
It’s time for the City to recognize the importance of this matter.
