Morrelli Republicans Promise 6 Percent State Employee Pay Hike
SACRAMENTO—State Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti predicted the Legislature would approve a 6 percent raise for state employees this year, despite Gov. Reagan saying the state cannot afford it. About 2,000 workers heard Moretti at Cal Expo, where he warned of potential widespread strikes if relations do not improve and urged granting collective bargaining rights to nearly 150,000 state employees. Reagan said the budget blocks a general pay hike due to fiscal strain.
