Atlanta City Employees Say Mayor’s Pay Raise Proposal Not Good Enough | WABE 90.1 FM

Some city of Atlanta employees say they deserve a far heftier pay raise than what Mayor Kasim Reed is currently proposing.

“They should come up with more. We’ve been doing our jobs.” said Dester Thernton, who helps maintain city traffic lights and signage.

He says after taking a five percent pay cut in 2011 as part of the pension overhaul, the city owes employees a better deal.

“I’ve been with the city ten years and I haven’t gotten [a pay raise] yet,” said Thernton.
