wunderkind, the figure used to calculate our next COLA adjustment will be based on the July CPI which comes out Aug 14th. I've been doing a running commentary on the monthly CPI changes over on PT's threaded board, and it looks to me like we're NOT going to get a COLA increase, just as we didn't get one when the Jan. CPI came out.
The NALC site has a news update you can check on Aug 14 - they're pretty good about doing the COLA numbers:
