No Decisions Reached In Maine Union Meetings
In Augusta two public employee unions AFSCME Council 74 and MSEA reported productive talks with Gov. James B. Longley over pay hikes and benefits. AFSCME proposed raises to lowest paid staff and tiered scale changes. MSEA urged a broad package and family Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage. Both groups asked Longley to back higher pay and funded benefits with a special session next year. They warned of potential job actions if demands are blocked and noted a new political arm to oppose lawmakers who oppose raises.
