Knowing the cost of wage and benefit proposals and their affect on the health of the government substantially improves the union’s negotiating position. We have developed the ability to estimate the cost of wage and benefit proposals for unions during their negotiations. Knowing the potential cost of the proposals in relation to a government’s financial health improves the chances of a successful negotiation and contract resolution.
Wage proposals can have an effect on a union member’s individual tax return. Benefit proposals that seem to answer issues raised by governments may have negative personal income tax implications. With our expertise in income taxes, we can analyze both the union’s and the employer’s proposals for adverse tax consequences.
