So far, the City’s team has not been willing to discuss a retroactive Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA), meaning that if we don’t reach full agreement by June 30th, then DCTU workers will only get our COLA on the date we do reach agreement. This rewards the City for stalling, because they save money every day they don’t work to reach an agreement by not paying us the COLA that we would otherwise receive if we had reached agreement by June 30th.
