Dear AFSCME Council 93 Member,
As you are aware, Governor Patrick is proposing an increase in state/higher education employee health insurance costs in his FY09 budget.
Please be advised that AFSCME Council 93 remains strongly opposed to any increase in employee health insurance costs and will be working aggressively with other public employee unions to defeat this proposal in the legislature. The following is a brief summary of the governor’s plan.
The Massachusetts Democratic Party will be holding its State Convention on Saturday June 7th, 2008 at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell. It is so important to have a strong labor presence at these events to ensure that labor issues have a big place in the Democratic Party’s platform as we move into these historic elections. Interested? Please take the following steps: |
