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 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. Click on picture below to read the Special Edition Communicator:
