A MESSAGE TO STATE LEGISLATORS

We are New York State’s public workers.

We are nurses, teachers, engineers, parole officers, and many other professionals.

We have done our part to solve the State’s budget problems.

• Since 2008 the State’s workforce has been reduced by 16,000 jobs.
• The State pension plan was changed in 2010 to create a new Tier 5 that will save state and local governments $35 Billion over the next thirty years.
• In 2011 we agreed to a labor contract that freezes pay, requires workers to pay more for health insurance and cuts salaries through furloughs.  This contract will save the state more than $230 million over the next four years.

Enough is enough!

Say NO to Tier 6

No more cuts to state workers

We need our legislators to speak up for the people who do the work- New York’s public workers.
