Cutbacks have consequences

Posted by Lou on June 28, 2010

As we well know, cutbacks, specifically coerced reductions in the state workforce, have dire consequences. WRNI’s Scott McKay writes an excellent piece with this very message. Read the article and leave a comment thanking Scott for his support.

In other news, the AFSCME International Convention is going on this week in Boston. The convention page at AFSCME.org has highlights and photos. I was there this morning, and the delegation was fired up by International President Gerald McEntee and thankful for the long service of Secretary-Treasurer William Lucy. Mr. Lucy is retiring after 38 years of service to AFSCME. Keep up to date with the convention RSS feed
