Show Notes
Governor Ned Lamonts administration has reached tentative agreements for raises with ten unions representing state employees in Connecticut, covering various professions. However, more than half of the states bargaining units are still without new contracts, eight months after their old ones expired. Union members plan a rally at the state Capitol to push for quicker action, citing staffing shortages and the need for fair deals to attract and retain workers. Lamonts team is negotiating in good faith but also seeking to modify remote work policies set during the pandemic. With the legislative session ending in May and Lamont facing reelection in November, pressure is mounting to finalize deals before summer campaigning begins.
