The painters ratified the biggest contract raise in our history due to you all standing up for what you believe in. the original offer was only $2.80 per year ($8.40) and you fought to get to $10.00 over 3 years ($1.60 more) than the original offer.

$10.00 over 3 years

$3.50 the first year

$3.25 the second year and 

$3.25 the third year.

Text messages are being sent out to painters to ask for input on the allocation of the raises which will be voted on Monday July 24th from noon to 6pm. Please come out and vote on where your money goes. Not very many people show up to vote on where their increase goes which is a very important vote to make your voice heard. Come out and vote on where your future increases will be going.
