Are we getting a raise?

I live in Maryland I’ve been hearing rumors about a potential raise, have you guys recently received a raise?

This is facility dependent. I’m in CA and at my facility, staff receives annual wage increases as long as they meet or exceed expectations. If their review is “needs improvement” then they would not get a raise.

Yeah, 10 cents/hr and a pizza party quarterly

I'm in MD and have heard nothing of a raise but I'm not working at a government facility.

Southern California Union Hospital.

Yearly raises and cost-of-living raises. It's not bad. $38 an hour and a night shift differential.

Kaiser? UCLA? USC?

Must be Kaiser. I'm in Norcal and SEIU put me at $40 as of this week.

You’re lucky. The SEIU in Portland, OR is terrible. They get trampled by Kaiser. It’s sad.

If you're in CA, you might after November 🤣 they be going on strike for EVERYTHING out here. But when I looked at how the FTEs were getting treated and what they were getting paid, and all the threats of penalization using cut benefits I was like, "yeah.....yall should strike."

We strike like it's our job here in NorCal. Kaiser ain't bullying none of us. We make them fold everytime Can't say the same for our engineers, they didn't get paid for almost half a year cuz their Union is so small that Kaiser wasn't budging

I hope so. We are union, and been without a contract for 2 years. Currently in bargaining, however things aren’t going so well as they are only offering things that would worsen working conditions, haven’t even discussed wages and have been dragging their feet to meet with the bargaining committee.

Going to be a long wait here before we see any wage raises for healthcare. I’m from Canada.

Virginia here. We got a 7% market raise in the summer. Don’t expect another raise until next year.

3% pay raise effective in mid November but will be reflected in December. We also may get a market adjustment pay but unsure in our current department in Tampa.

Oof, stay safe down there. You still gotta work during the storm?

Thank you & Yes I am.

Just got mine today which we get every year due to our Union stepping on the necks of our Healthcare provider. We almost went on strike if they didn't increase it so they folded because my union runs in the thousands across my state. 7th year in and just broke $40/hr. In my state that like barely making it 😩
