Carl Vinson Institute Study Shows Warner Robins City Employees Underpaid

Mayor Chuck Shaheen says the results of the Carl Vinson Institute Pay Study show about 80% of city employees are underpaid.

Last year, the mayor and council ordered a pay study of city employees. It was the first one conducted since 1984.

The results show most of the people not earning what they deserve are minimum wage workers.

“It’s time for us to get really involved and understand everything that’s in that study and put together some kind of a plan on what we need to do to be sure that our employees are being paid for the job that they do,” says Mike Daley, Warner Robins City Council.

On December 1st, the Carl Vinson Institute will be in Warner Robins to present their findings.

Mayor Chuck Shaheen says, he and council will find the funds to pay the city employees fairly, including benefits.
