MORE GOOD NEWS – MEA HAS SECURED AN ADDITIONAL 8% SPECIAL SALARY INCREASE FOR STOREKEEPERS, WAREHOUSE MANAGERS, AND STOCK CLERKS – TO BE ADDED TO THE 9.5% GENERAL SALARY INCREASE IN NEW 3-YEAR CONTRACT
As a follow up to MEA’s E-blast regarding contract negotiations, MEA’s Tentative Agreement (TA) with the City includes an additional 8% special salary increase for Storekeeper I, Storekeeper II, Storekeeper III, Stores Operations Supervisor, Warehouse Manager, Stock Clerk, and Auto Parts Stock Clerk job classifications.
Accordingly, and assuming this TA is ratified by MEA’s membership, employees in these job classifications will receive the following general and special salary increases over the 3-year term of this agreement:
Year 1 (FY 2027) – 2%
July 1, 2026: 2% (general salary increase)
Year 2 (FY 2028) – 7.5%
July 1, 2027: 3.5% (general salary increase)

Each general and special salary increase compounds when implemented, which means that over the next two and a half years your pay will steadily grow to be 18.8% higher than today!
Congratulations on this well-earned additional pay increase. If you have any feedback or questions, please contact MEA at info@sdmea.org or 619-264-6632.
