Sisters and Brothers, Please make these calls TODAY! We must recognize and thank the legislators who are listening and responding to our voices.
This weekend, our friends on the House Appropriations and Finance Committee, voted to fund a raise for all State Employees. The budget also includes additional money to support correction officers, probation and parole officers, social workers, and nurses.
We are working hard with our allies in the house and senate to secure a raise for all state employees...READ about bills we're supporting, opposing, and working to amend.
AFSCME will be working every single day with our friends the legislature to secure the 1.5% raise and try to see if we can address some of the issues around high vacancies and pay compaction within many state agencies. We will also fight against any attempts to outsource our members jobs and any corporate tax cuts that only benefit the wealthy.
Please keep an eye for frequent updates as we move through the session and we will need each and everyone of us to make calls and send emails when we ask, it is critical to our success.
Thank you all for your hard work and for dedicating your careers to public service.
Happy New Year!
