DNR Workers Seek Equal Pay Study Over Inspectors
Water resources division employees petition the Civil Service Commission for a wage equity investigation. Attorneys claim inspectors and supervisors are paid less than reclamation division peers despite performing similar work. DNR officials note base pay matches at 9 780 while surface mine inspectors have mandatory 15 000 after one year, and a 10 percent raise was issued July 1. Civil Service cautions broad payroll implications if parity is set at 15 000.
