in my state prettymuch all dispatchers are either union or association based and locked into a step system with pay ranges -- theres not much flexibility there other than time in service to place you on the matrix....
that info should be public information (its a government budget), and probably obtainable off the web. I'd do a bit of research first and see if you're even going to be able to negotiate a better deal, or if it is set by negotiations and budget board, and if so what is the range for the step you'd be going in at and aim for the higher end of that range in your request and back it up by your training rather than basing your request off of what you are currently making now. it would be a more up front and logical arguement to present to your employer imo.
