LAO recommends supervisor raises

The Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) has released their financial analysis of the tentative bargaining agreement with SEIU Local 1000, and has recommended a "me too" raise for supervisors, managers, and confidential employees to avoid further salary compaction.

The LAO analysis estimates the total cost of the raises outlined in the Local 1000 bargaining agreement at roughly $308 million over three years.

A separate analysis aimed at mitigating salary compaction estimates the cost of extending rank and file raises to supervisors, managers, and confidential employees at an additional $118 million over three years.
