Contract Progress!

As you’ve heard, our contract has been moving through the corridors of state government.

Recently, we took a big step forward. The state legislature’s Joint Committee on Employment Relations voted to pass along our contract. Because we are state employees, the state legislature oversees ratification of our contract as our ultimate employer.

From here, the contract will get taken up, just like any bill, by both houses of the state legislature. When they pass it, the bill that includes our contract (along with two other state employee unions) will get signed into law by the governor.

We’re getting close to officially having a new contract in place with wage increases and more fair workplace protections. Stay tuned for how you can help move along our contract in the next stages.
