Out with nonprofits. A case manager and the fully loaded case working for the city is 140,000 a year and the fully cost at well paying nonprofit is only about 80,000 a year. Multiply that by the number of case managers that youre paying for and i think its a significant amount of money that the sector is paying the Nonprofit Sector is saving the government, but this shouldnt be done on the backs of workers. I think its great we can save money and provide Excellent Services but should do so in a way that is fair. Were under a lot of pressure in the Nonprofit Sector. Some of you may know due to changes in the Health Care Reform in january organizations that are between 50 and 100 employees are looking at double digit increases in insurance and we cant increase wages with this and philanthropy isnt the answer and not to back fill government contracts and it helps the mission and be innovative and grow and be better.

Knowing if theyre getting a raise. Nonprofits not knowing if they have funding to deal with increases in health care and rent and other things. Its a very chaotic situation and its one i think we can all agree that we shouldnt repeat and at the supplemental hearing that we had a couple of months ago i think i heard unanimous support for seriously addressing this permanent fix and its to see were having a hearing now and moving towards that. One thing there are a lot of nuisances and complications with this, but one thing that we cant do is neglect nonprofit workers while we address this longterm fix. I do think that we may need to study and put together a working group to look into this in a more detailed way how we do something permanently but we need to establish a cost of living increase bridge that we can walk across while we get to this permanent fix that we will be discussing. Nonprofit workers if were going to hear acknowledge this situation is real and going on we can acknowled
Now is the time to work on the permanent fix. Local three, our members, our employers, we all are here to Work Together to create a permanent fix whether it be the convening of a task force to do that, but now is the time.
