But the company's chief executive still received an 11 percent raise.

An additional 3.9 percent raise was scheduled for next year.

Last week their leaders rejected the city's offer of a 4 percent raise.

A 3 percent raise would add $2.3 billion to that figure for the next fiscal year.

An 8 percent raise is not what I had in mind.

The first year of the contract calls for a 4 1/2 percent raise.

The union asked the panel for a 22.7 percent raise.

This was enough to pay for about half of the 5 percent raise.

As of April 1, 1999, workers would get another 6 percent raise.

Each 1 percent raise offered to employees would cost the city about $160 million a year.
