A spokesman for AFSCME says the union was determined that it would not lose ground under a new contract… and says the tentative deal reached with the state accomplishes that goal.
After 15 months of confrontational talks, the largest state workers’ union reached agreement with the governor’s office on a deal… reportedly a three-year contract.
Neither side is disclosing details of the agreement until the union ratifies it next week. The tentative contract averts the possibility of an unprecedented walkout by state workers.
