SEBAC's response to the General Assembly Republican leadership letter can be read here.
On March 24th, Senate minority leader Fasano and House Republican leader Klarides sent a letter to some of the Union presidents requesting that Union leadership meet with representatives from the Governor's office to discuss pension and healthcare changes. The Republican leaders appear most insistent that healthcare and pension concecssions should be on the negotiating table. Their letter can be viewed here.
Please note that a meeting between SEBAC leadership and a representative from the Governor's office is scheduled to take place on April 6th. This is NOT a meeting to discuss reopening our coalition’s 2011 agreement. Instead, we have made clear to the administration we intend to discuss the root causes of Connecticut's budget woes and to offer suggestions for short and long-term savings that do not involve reductions in benefits.
