An e-mail from AFSCME leadership to union members is warning that contract talks with the state are at a near-standstill, and blame the Quinn administration for pushing pay and benefit cuts that could leave many workers with as much as $10,000 less in take home pay next year.
That e-mail, obtained by Rich Miller’s Capitol Fax blog, says the state’s demands are an insult to workers.
Both sides are trying to line up a mediator to assist in the contract talks, but so far have been unable to find one.
