Local 3315 members got what we negotiated at the bargaining table - an AFSCME pay plan IN ADDITION to the wage increases. The quiz shows that you are not a member of our local. You are a probably a non-unionized county worker. As the American Express commercial says, membership has its rewards. In the event you are a member, pick up the phone and call your steward or one of the board members and we will see why you just aren't getting it. Stephen: Yes, it’s a quiz and you failed.

Or is it just Big Brother watching? Sounds a little un PD like. 2.75% minus the increase for health care contribution which, for me, was only a few dollars more. Not last paycheck. Today's paycheck.
