Additional Payment

The 8/3/18 paycheck may have included an additional $5 or $15 payment. This payment is a settlement of a dispute regarding the implementation date of wages in the 2011 A&R contract.

KNOW YOUR CONTRACTUAL BENEFITS

Don't take contract benefits for granted!  The A&R contract provides members the right to receive one half day off with pay to attend one annual picnic and one holiday party (sponsored by either your agency or your union).  Without this contract provision, leave time would be necessary to attend such functions.

We look forward to seeing our brothers and sisters at the picnic.

COPE Endorsements

The COPE committee and several A&R members attended a sit down interview with gubernatorial democratic primary candidate Ned Lamont last evening.  In an informal setting, we discussed issues important to state employees.  Members had the opportunity to pose questions directly to the candidate, to hear his responses, and to personally evaluate the candidate.

Ned Lamont Interview

Ned Lamont (candidate for Governor) will be visiting the A&R office on  Thursday July 19 at 5:30pm.   Ned will be seeking an endorsement from A&R so he will be at our office to answer questions from A&R members.

This will not be a stump speech, this is for A&R members to question Ned Lamont and to decide if we wish to endorse him in his primary bid against Joe Ganim.

All members are invited to attend.
