Connecticut state employees are getting a first official glimpse at details of a tentative labor savings agreement reached last week between union leadership and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, The Associated Press reports.
A summary of the deal was posted Tuesday on the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition’s website http://inthistogetherct.org/
The plan requires all state workers to begin making contributions to a trust fund to help cover retiree health benefits. It also ends longevity payments, a bonus paid to veteran employees, to most new hires.
The tentative agreement also calls for a new approach to health care, requiring workers to sign a form annually, promising to get yearly physicals and other age-appropriate tests.
The deal also promises no-layoffs for four years.
Eighty percent of voting members must approve the retirement and health care changes.
