January 27th, 2010AFSCME Contract Concessions

 

Late yesterday afternoon, AFSCME (Illinois’s largest state employee union) announced that it reached an agreement with the State in regards to budget issues.  In short, AFSCME agreed to defer 1% of their contractual pay raise on July1, 2010 and 1% on January 1, 2011 until June 1, 2011 and the creation of a voluntary furlough program.  Details of the agreement can be found on AFSCME’s website and also in an article in the State Journal Register: http://www.sj-r.com/news/x985824389/State-AFSCME-reach-deal-on-layoffs-pay

The Troopers Lodge has NOT been contacted by the Department about ANY contract concessions.  As I have stated before when we faced the possibility of lay off’s, I am opposed to opening up our contract.  Should the Department make any such request of this Lodge I will advise our membership.
