- Agreed. However, the problem I have with this raise (and with most
- raises given to public employees for that matter) is that is is
- across the board, for everyone. All the workers get a 13% pay
- raise: those who have worked very hard and done outstanding jobs
- get 13%. Those who have down average jobs get 13%. Those who did
- poor jobs get 13%. I don't think this is a good nor a fair way
- to handle such things. I would like to see more positions being
- given merit raises.
