The city is not even out of bankruptcy yet, and the contract they've negotiated gives a 5% pay raise on July 1, 2014, a 2.5% bonus in 2015 and then 2.5% increases in 2016, 17and 18.
The Detroit Free Press: Unions, city of Detroit ink 5-year contracts with 4 annual pay raises
In return for the rather impressive raises given the fact that Detroit is after all, bankrupt, the AFSCME will support the "grand bargain" bailout of Detroit.
Wow. Detroiters truly have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

Not surprised, just impressed at the audacity.
