Ok, the statement that city employees should never get raises is crazy. If this were the case the city would have no employees. I mean who would want a job where you go in and are told "well sir/ma'am just know by taking this job you will never make more than this amount and if you get promoted you will not receive a pay raise" I mean this is what it is about making money to support your family. Raises are common place in EVERY job in America. Just because you don't get one for a few years doesn't mean you don't want one or deserve one.I say give them the 3% cost of living raise, no matter who they work for.
No one has said never get a raise, just not one now. My company stopped annual raises until the economy improves.
