Lobbying group seeks wage boosts for county workers
Frederick County commissioners met with labor representatives from the Maryland Classified Employees Association who requested a $2,000 across the board annual raise for about 70 county employees. Budget officials noted inflation and staffing limits make such a raise unlikely in the FY83 budget, which already includes a 6.5 percent COLA and potential step increases. The meeting, held with Prior and associates, was brief and largely uncontentious as officials said they would consider non monetary proposals.
