Rell and Unions Will Sit Down This Afternoon and Talk (Concessions?)

Gov. Rell and state unions last year agreed on union concessions that saved tens of millions of dollars while protecting state workers from layoffs. This afternoon at 4, they’ll meet again in what a union spokesman describes as “the first of what we are proposing as a series of discussions on what we hope will be ‘win-win’ solutions to the economic crisis.”

Here’s the Web site link that the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition circulated yesterday among the 13 member unions, talking about today’s meeting and some cost-savings tactics they’re willing to discuss:
