LOS ANGELES : Teachers Union Agrees to Postpone Pay Raise

The union representing administrators in the Los Angeles Unified School District has agreed to postpone a temporary pay increase promised to them last year, officials said.

Attorneys for the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles signed the agreement with district officials Monday, giving up a 3% salary increase totaling $1 million that would have been paid them July through mid-September. The money will instead be tacked onto the administrators’ paychecks for the 1992-93 school year.

Employees throughout the district took a 3% pay cut last year to help the district through a fiscal crisis. But school officials agreed in negotiations to gradually repay the money, as well as to temporarily restore employee salaries to their 1990-91 levels.

Other employee bargaining groups, including the teachers union, are receiving the temporary pay-back, though officials say some of them also are considering postponing it.
