Minnesota Employees Union pushes for raises for state workers
The Minnesota State Employees Union will seek negotiations for a supplemental pay raise for Civil Service workers, arguing the 1973 Legislature package shortchanged them. About 10 percent of the 23,000 state employees saw increases of 1 percent or less, despite gains in pensions and early retirement options. The union criticizes the deal as inadequate and urges a corrective response.
