Just for comparison, here is the official language from the CT contract. Dues Section 4. The monthly membership dues shall be based on a proportion of the yearly income which approximates .00096 of salary, .00072 of which will be added to the general operating budget and .00024 of which will be placed in a contingency fund. The contingency fund, and such interest derived there from, shall be used only upon a vote of the membership. (.00096 x 2080 hours = approximately two hours per month for full-time employees.) -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Doug Nelson Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 11:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] APA raise On Mon, Oct 06, 2008 at 10:45:47AM -0400, David McFarlane wrote: > Don Bosman wrote: > >We currently pay $54.00 per month.
