CSEA, PEF Reach Agreement with Paterson Administration

to Avoid State Layoffs Without Reopening Contracts

6/5/09

Please click below to see CSEA/PEF Press Release

Press Release regarding agreement 6/5/09

See more Details below:

PEF and Gov. David Paterson came to agreement June 5 regarding the threatened layoffs. The agreement provides for a two-year no-layoff pledge, a non-pensionable targeted severance buyout of $20,000 for eligible employees, and more access by PEF members to programs that allow for voluntary reductions in work schedules.  Under the agreement, PEF will not oppose the governor’s proposal for a Tier V in the retirement system for future hires.

Details of the severance buyout and the governor’s Tier V proposal can be found on the PEF Web site.

Given the significant movement by the governor from his original demands for concessions from the state’s work force and in consideration of the deteriorating condition of the state’s finances, this represents a reasonable accommodation which provides cost savings to the state in lieu of layoffs, while preserving the integrity of our contracts.

PEF leaders are disappointed the governor continued to insist on additional sacrifice from the state work force, beyond cuts already made to agency operations.  Under these difficult circumstances, PEF stands ready to continue to provide high-quality services to the citizens of the state to the best of our ability.

The union will also continue to push the governor and Legislature to reduce the reliance on costly consultants as a way for the state to address future financial crises.
