Monterey General Employees Vote to Meet with City on Concessions

Thursday, February 25, 2010

MONTEREY - The GEM Board faced a packed house at their member meeting Wednesday night to discuss and vote on the request by the City that members give up their 3% raise in July. A very close vote by the membership decided that the GEM negotiations team will explore options with the City on whether the members will tax themselves the 3% or come up with alternatives to bail out a projected City financial shortfall. GEM Chair Randy Malispina will be sending a letter out to his members requesting their input on this issue. Malispina wants to ensure that every member has an opportunity to participate in this process and to explore all avenues for solution.
