MORE GOOD NEWS – MEA HAS SECURED AN ADDITIONAL 10% SPECIAL SALARY INCREASE FOR WATER DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS SUPERVISORS – TO BE ADDED TO THE 21% GENERAL SALARY INCREASE IN NEW 3-YEAR CONTRACT

As a follow up to MEA’s E-blast last week regarding contract negotiations, MEA’s Tentative Agreement (TA) with the City now also includes an additional 10% special salary increase for Water Distribution Operations Supervisor and Senior Water Distribution Operations Supervisor job classifications.

Accordingly, employees in these job classifications will receive the following general and special salary increases over the 3-year term of this agreement:

Year 1 (FY 2024) – 10%

July 1, 2023: 5% (general salary increase)

January 1, 2024: 5% (general salary increase)

Year 2 (FY 2025) – 11%

July 1, 2024: 4% (general salary increase)

January 1, 2025: 5% (special salary increase)

January 1, 2025: 2% (general salary increase)

Year 3 (FY 2026) – 10%

July 1, 2025: 5% (general salary increase)

January 1, 2026: 5% (special salary increase)

Each general and special salary increase compounds when implemented, which means that over the next two and a half years your pay will steadily grow to be 35.4% higher than today!

Congratulations on this well-earned additional pay increase.  If you have any feedback or questions, please contact MEA at 619-264-6632 or email us at info@sdmea.org.
