>On Wednesday, interim University of Tennessee President Joe Johnson
>announced "some good news about pay raises," effective July 1.

>UT employees will receive at least a 3 percent increase in base pay. But
>the plan calls for bigger raises for those workers earning less than
>$25,000 a year.
>
>Starting in July, everyone who makes less than $25,000 will receive a
>$750-a-year increase. In some cases, that's as much as a 5.3 percent
>raise. The $750 will be prorated for part-time employees making less than
>$25,000.
>
>Then, around Oct. 1, workers will receive a one-time special bonus based
>on number of years of service. The bonuses will range from $210 to $1,750.

>"The university administration should be praised for taking a step in the
>right direction and allocating budget funds in ways that value the work of
>those of us at the bottom of the pay scale," said Pat McDaniel, a 22-year
>employee, a chemistry secretary and a member of United Campus
>Workers-Communications Workers of America Local 3865.
>
>Zeola Miller, a UCW-CWA member and a biology department employee, called
>the move "a good start, but more needs to be done. It's a real good thing,
>especially for the lower rung. It really helped our income."
