State to rehire 4 657 fired workers under pact
The cancellation of the statewide Civil Service Employer Association strike was followed by a state promise to rehire all 4 657 permanent workers fired by the Legislature. The agreement aims to fill openings by Aug. 1 and prioritize rehiring those workers, while noting 6 057 others had lost jobs and that costs remain within the original budget. Some unions praised efforts, others called the deal limited, with hospital staff unsure of regaining positions.
