"Locality pay" is a pile of horseshit, and needs to be eliminated anyway.
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/fact-sheets/ In the locality pay program, Federal pay is compared to non-Federal pay for the same levels of work. The results of such pay comparisons can be found in annual recommendations of the Federal Salary Council and in annual reports of the Presidents Pay Agent. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Keep in mind that this isn't even a real raise, it's to keep up with cost of living. By not getting it, they're basically doing the same job for less money
