State Union Employees Voting on Concessions Monday

Unions are expected to vote today on concessions that will directly affect the state budget.

Monday marks the 17th day of the fiscal year and Connecticut is still without a budget.

On Monday unions are expected to vote on concessions that will directly affect the state budget.

Currently the state is facing a $5 billion deficit over the next two fiscal years, but union employees could help save $1.5 billion.

Democrats postponed a budget vote until after the union employees finished voting on concessions.

The concessions would mean unionized state employees have to pay more for their pension and health care.

Until a budget is passed, Gov. Dannel Malloy will run the government using his limited executive authority.

House Democrats plan to meet Tuesday for further budget discussions.
