AFSCME seeks 5 percent raises for two years in Iowa state work talks
The AFSCME Council 61 asks for 5 percent pay hikes for two years plus better health benefits and job protections as bargaining begins for a new two year contract. State officials say costs rise about 5.6 million per percentage point while Branstad deems the request excessive. The talks, involving over 20 000 workers and ending with a legislature approved deal, could stretch into next year.
