MORE GOOD NEWS – MEA HAS SECURED AN ADDITIONAL 10% SPECIAL SALARY INCREASE FOR CASHIERS – 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 Cashier and Senior Cashier 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) – 20%

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

July 1, 2023: 10% (special salary increase)

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

Year 2 (FY 2025) – 6%

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

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

Year 3 (FY 2026) – 5%

July 1, 2025: 5% (general 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 grow to be 35.1% higher than today, with most of that increase coming in the first six months of the contract!

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.
