Compton workers demand higher pay amid 4 percent plan
City Council hears unions oppose a 4 percent basic raise for Compton employees arguing the rise fails to match rising living costs. Police and fire groups say pay lags behind peers and note 36 officers left since January 1969 while council awaits final action later this month. The plan would raise the general fund rate by 26 cents to 1 per 100 and push total property tax to 1.58.
