Because union members came together and took action in our worksites, at the capitol, and in our communities, we were able to reach a tentative agreement that includes historic cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), protects our contracting out language, moves us forward on building our union, and a $1,500 one-time payment in our April paychecks (prorated by FTE).Click here for more information on our new contract.

One of our key wins was a package of cost-of-living increases (COLAs) and steps that will increase wages for the duration of this contract.The calculator below will provide you with an estimate of your raises based on the COLAs and any step increases.

This calculator is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as financial advice. It provides an estimate for a typical full-time worker, based on the difference between steps on their salary range. It does not take into account any additions to monthly pay such as differentials or incentives, nor does it take into account taxes, FSAs, or other items deducted from your paycheck, and therefore will only provide approximate results.

If you have questions about your contract, please speak with a steward in your worksite or contact the Member Assistance Center at 1-844-503-SEIU (7348).
