Limited by the 0.5% allocated to Unit Bargaining

Economic vs Non-Economic Proposals

“Members in Social Work title series in H+H or DOHMH holding LCSW licensure shall be entitled to additional $1,000 per annum differential”

Assume the average Worker makes $75,000 / year: 0.5% = $375 / year
Among these 1,026 members, their proportion of the ‘0.5%’ allocated would be: approx $384,750 / yr
Assume approx. 500 of our 1,026 Social Workers hold an LCSW
$1,000 differential x 500 eligible members = Total $500,000 / yr

Economic vs Non-Economic Proposals

“Members in XYZ titles shall have the right to transfer to open positions in the same title in other locations or bureaus of their agency, according to seniority, prior to the hire of outside candidates”

Mandatory vs Permissive: Very likely this is ‘permissive’ subject
How much pressure would it take to make your employer want to bargain over this?
