DAS is instituting a "time management" system in all agencies throughout the Executive Branch.  The system is designed by a company called Kronos and it is an electronic "sign-in/sign-out" system.  The electronic sign-in/sign-out system will be installed at every office building and extend to every field employee whose agency falls under the DAS umbrella.  There are also GPS tracking capabilities for State vehicles and an associated cell phone app. 

This is directly from the homepage of the Kronos website and explains all you need to know about it:

If electronic tracking sounds good to you, then rejoice, it is on the way.  If this sounds like something you abhor and it angers you that you increased your pension contributions so the State can afford a tracking system, then you need to speak up...now.  This is a system that is expected to exceed $25 million dollars (if it works smoothly) and the process to secure the funding is under way. 

The State Bond Commission is meeting Friday 2/16 to approve money for this project.  The project is contained as a line item of a larger IT bond request so it will be difficult to extract from the overall request, but this system is so offensive it deserves our communal efforts.

If you want to oppose installation of the employee tracking system, contact the members of the Bond Commission by phone or email and let them know that this is an unacceptable waste of money during a time of extreme budgetary constraints...this is not a "need" for the State, this is a "want", and we don't want it.

The Bond Commission members are listed below: let each of them know if you believe this system is a misuse of scarce and dwindling resources and would be a prime example of wasteful spending and bad government.

The Commission on Fiscal Stability and Economic Growth was recently established by the Legislature via PA 17-2 Sec. 250.  The Commission has heard testimony from the Yankee Institute as well as the CBIA.

The Commission is expected to make recommendations to the Legislature on a variety of issues which may be extremely impactful to the future of organized labor in Connecticut.  The Commission is co-chaired by two prominent business leaders: health-care entrepreneur Robert Patricelli and Webster Bank’s chairman and former chief executive officer, James Smith.  Most of the board members come from

The Legislative Session will open on Wednesday February 7th and will start with the Governor's State of the State address.  This is considered the "short" session which is scheduled to conclude on May 9th.

In advance of the State of the State address, Governor Malloy has unveiled his proposed revisions to the biennial budget.  The revised  budget reflects a $240 million deficit for FY18, and a $117 million surplus in FY19.   The next step in the process is for the Legislature to give consideration to his proposals.  House Minority Leader Themis Klarides has stated “We have to deal with the

In accordance with our new contract, employees in durational positions can now achieve permanent status after a 6-month working test period, similar to all other new hires.  All durational employees who were hired prior to August 1, 2017 have now achieved permanent status...Congratulations! 

It is the employee status which now changes after a 6 month working test period, the position remains durational with a limited time frame for funding. So if/when funding expires, the employee in the durational position may receive a layoff notice but will now have contractual layoff language and re-hire

Last year membership voted and approved the A&R contract, as well as modifications to the SEBAC agreement.  These changes were negotiated by union members, for union members via A&R's Negotiations Committee.  While no member was enthusiastic to make the sacrifices being asked, the membership overwhelmingly approved the negotiated contracts.  The result: We have a signed labor agreement which runs through June 2021, with 7% built in wage increases, guaranteed top step bonuses (guaranteed throughout your career),  two step increments, all longevity payments, and a cash bonus this July.  We also
