Battle Over Rise for State Employes In Sacramento
The annual fight over state salaries begins this week with proposals for at least a 5 percent raise. The State Personnel Board seeks 5 percent for about 100000 workers, while the California State Employees Association pushes for around 7 percent. Last year the board recommended 7.12 percent but Gov. Brown cut it to 3 percent, with the Legislature approving that. The report bases pay on private industry comparisons and notes a current 3 percent shortfall that could widen to 8 percent by March without legislative action.
