The short explanation of this alert was:

Appropriations Committee Approves NP-4 Corrections Arbitration Award!

Council 4 won a major victory Jan. 30 in advancing a much deserved pay raise for state correction employees. The General Assembly Appropriations Committee voted 34-14 to table the correction employee arbitrated award resolution, effectively passing it at this stage of the process. If the State Senate and House do not reject the award (by a two thirds margin) by the end of the day on February 13, it will become law.

This is a victory for fair play and a reminder of the importance of protecting public services in these coming difficult economic times. We owe thanks to the Appropriations Committee members who spoke in favor of the award and voted favorably.
