I work for a municipality here in the Northwest and am in a union. Our COLA for 08 is a meager 3.3%. I am a bit jealous of you guys pulling 13% raises but then again I don't have to worry about downsizing or outsourcing and like knowing I will work for the same stable entity 20 years from now. I also accrue 5 weeks of vacation and 120 hours of sick time each and every year so I figure that into my incentives. I wouldn't trade my fun, stress free job for a crappy stressful job that paid three times what I make.
