I'm confused about the raises, those are in the contract for each union group, right? So any raises already in the pipeline have to be paid when the contract states. Thats why the mayor gave I think one of the unions the opportunity to forgo the raise that had been agreed in exchange for no layoffs, but the majority voted to allow some of their members lose their jobs (going into a depression) so they could keep their raises.

One thing I didnt agree with was that ALL workers should be asked to give up raises at the same time, not just one group. But it looks like we can cut services and staff and the schools will have to cut programs to pay for their agreed raises, and keep the budget working - but with less for the Warwick taxpayers in services etc. Everyone gets whatever raises are coming, some get laid off, services decline.

Do I have this right?
