In January 2018, Javatech management offered the JEU a 1 percent annual wage increase for all employees with no other changes in employment benefits. The JEU countered by requesting a 3 percent wage increase and an employee health-insurance package. Javatech management responded that the 1 percent wage increase was the company's only offer.
