Finance Director Rob Dubow said the city wanted all municipal union members, elected officials, and exempt employees to agree to the same pension plan as D.C. 33, which mandates that anyone paid an annual salary of more than $45,000 pay between 0.5 percent and 3 percent more toward one's pension, depending on the salary bracket. For example, those earning $55,000 to $75,000 contribute 1.5 percent and those earning $100,000 or more pay 3 percent more than their current contributions, which vary among the unions. (The average salary of a D.C. 33 employee is $38,000, so most current employees wouldn't be affected by the changes.)
