Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s administration revealed Thursday that 182 Connecticut state employees so far have been officially notified they will lose their jobs on July 1 if a two-year, $2 billion labor savings deal is not reached with union leaders and ratified by rank-and-file members, The Associated Press reports.
The accounting of the first wave of 4,742 threatened layoffs, which lists individual job classifications, indicates most of the notices issued through Wednesday — 136 — were issued to Department of Correction employees.
That list includes 75 correctional officer positions and 16 correctional counselors.
Malloy is considering closing another prison, in addition to the closure included in the two-year, $40.1 billion budget, if the labor savings and concessions accord is not reached.
