Flexi Bull: Did you click on the wrong article? This article is specifically on the firefighters contract. I performed an analysis to disprove the statement that your union president made that you have not been provided with an increase in compensation 2 out of 3 years from 2012 - 2015.
You ask, "How much had employee contributions to Pensions and Healthcare gone up in these 7 years"? Do you realize that taxpayers contribution are twice as high as any increase you make to your pension. Avedisian refereed to the taxpayers as the pension system's "Self-correcting mechanism".
In 2016, 6 firefighters retired after contributing $750,000 into the pension system. Using the Fire II 3% automatic compound COLA, they will receive over $11 million in benefits in the next 20 years. You think that's sustainable?
The bottom line is that overall compensation for firefighters has increased every year from 2012 - 2018.
If you have the numbers to prove me wrong, please post them.
