This is unacceptable.
On Sept. 20 the state personnel director will hold a hearing to formally exempt 23 IT job classifications from civil service and collective bargaining.
The workers placed in those new categories would become "at-will" employees, meaning their agency can terminate them on the spot for any reason.
No process. No protections. No justice.
This is where the rubber hits the road. An injury to one of us is an injury to all of us. Stripping the bargaining rights of 200 IT workers is an attack on the bargaining rights of all 40,000 Federation members.
