AFSCME Council 26 sent letters to the Washington, DC-area House of Representatives delegation

(Council 26)

On May 18, 2011 AFSCME Council 26 sent letters to the Washington, DC-area House of Representatives delegation which stated: ” …we urge you to reject proposals that would increase federal employees’ contributions to their retirement system that are being discussed as part of debt limit negotiations. We have heard reports that members of both parties have agreed to this in concept, though a specific amount has yet to be chosen. The most extreme proposal would represent a reduction in employees’ salaries of over five percent.” To read this letter, click here.
