Be advised, the RIDOC will be in contract arbitration begining May 22, 2007, with one MAJOR topic...wages. The department is being compared to salaries in MA and CT, and other departments in the country. That is the wages as of now (but like said, the OT is limitless). By July, the salrary should be very similar (if not better) to other DOC's.
