So the city of San Luis Obispo doesn’t like arbitration now. Well, the city government should have been thinking about the possibilities. You administrators were selfish in only wanting to give huge raises to top management. Remember when you didn’t want to give the street crew a raise? Now the police get a huge raise. And I say good for them. The city shouldn’t have been so greedy. Now look at what has happened. You deserve it SLO. For all the employees of San Luis Obispo, I have always said, “If you can afford to give top management a big pay raise, than give all employees a medium raise.”
