OPEIU Local 6 Joins Other Public Unions to File Legislation for a 7% Wage Increase!

As you know, Governor Baker has imposed artificially low economic parameters on the Commonwealth’s public employers, including the Trial Court. We don’t have to remind you that we received an average of 2% annual wages since 2017, the first year that Governor Baker got involved setting the economic parameters for negotiations. That is a 10.5% wage increase from 2017 until the present. Based on the data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Boston-Cambridge-Newton area increased from July 1st, 2016 to March 1st, 2022 by 18.984%.

A General Membership Meeting will take place at 140 Wood Road, Suite 304 in Braintree on Tuesday May 10 at 6 p.m. 140 Wood Road is the building next to where our office is located. You are welcome to park in either parking lot.
