I'm not suggesting a 3% raise and 10% more towards healthcare. I also understand that city employees pay taxes as well. That's why I said it needs to be a realistic approach. Even if its a 6% raise spread out over several years with an increase in healthcare/ pension contributions. It's not the fault of the workers, but that doesn't mean that changes can't be made to improve things. The system cannot continue in this direction forever. Again, that is NOT the fault of the employees. Remember that 75% of a pension is much better than 100% of nothing. I don't take what you said as complaining, its frustrating for workers who put their contribution in to be told to put up more. That anger should be put on the mayor who continually earns your support year in and year out.
