Nearly 7,000 NYC managers, workers get raises

NEW YORK - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is giving raises to nearly 7,000 managers and other city workers who are not represented by unions.

Typically the salaries of those workers follow the same increases as the city's largest union, District Council 37.

But last year amid a bleak economic picture, the mayor did not give them a raise.

The result was that some managers were earning less than their staff.

The city said Friday that the workers will now get raises consistent with the union's 2008 agreement.

That would give them a four percent raise effective March of 2008 and another four percent increase effective March of this year.
