Week of February 27th Update
Management provided another financial update presentation as a precursor to their wages counter. They claim that because of the percentage rate hikes for health benefits and reduced ticket revenue, they need to lower wages expectations.
BT Countered on:
Statement on budget and transparency
We once again requested the line-item budget for each division, department, cost center, budget code, service line, etc. the Academy tracks expenditure and revenue for the 25-26 fiscal year. While we have requested this multiple times, the biggest takeaway from their failure to provide this information is they don’t care about our opinion on budget priorities.
We don't need to see their secret budget docs. We can see their public 990s that confirm that if CAS can pay Scott and SLT high salaries, they can afford to give everyone a living wage. Scott’s salary for a single year would cover a 3% raise for the entire bargaining unit.
