Dear Members,

The new salaries reflecting our 3.5% increase will take effect on pay period 24 (November 4, 2023) and will be reflected in the paycheck issued on November 24, 2023. Clothing maintenance allowance payments will also be issued on November 24.

The State has given us the date of February 9, 2024, for issuing retroactive monies for the 3.5% across-the-board. CWA is trying to have that retro date moved up sooner.

We will keep you posted with any new developments.

In solidarity,

Dennis Trainor, District 1 Vice President
William Gallagher, District 1 Assistant to the VP
