> Unrepresented Employees to Lose Portion of State Pension Contribution
> Under the Senate amendment, the state would not cover the first 1.5%
> of employee earnings under the Wisconsin Retirement System for
> unrepresented employees. While this provision does not pertain to
> state employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, it sets a
> very alarming tone of the direction the state legislature may be
> heading. AFSCME urges members to contact the Governor's office and
> their legislators and tell them of your opposition to the state
> reducing it's contribution to employee pensions.
