If Gov. Tom Wolf is handing out pay raises, non-unionized state employees say they want one
Unionized state government employees received a 2.25 percent raise in January. Minimum-wage commonwealth workers got a $1.90 an hour raise, to $10.15 an hour that started on Monday as a result of an executive order Gov. Tom Wolf signed.T
The 13,000 non-unionized state government employees sitting by watching raises being handed out to those around them are asking: "When is it our turn?"
Wolf didn't offer any timeline for when those employees would see their next raise when asked about it on Monday. However, the non-represented employees did hear him say this: "That is a legitimate issue to look at."
Until now, all those employees have heard is that a decision about whether they would be receiving a raise comparable to the one their unionized colleagues received in January would have to wait until the 2015-16 state budget is finalized.
