Press Event for Fair Contracts at State Capitol

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE!

The State Employee Bargaining Agent Coalition (SEBAC) is sponsoring a press conference for Tuesday, July 13th, starting at 4:30PM, at Gov. Lamont's parking spot outside the State Capitol in Hartford.

Members across all of our 15 SEBAC unions will be present at this event to raise our collective voices against the unfair contract proposals that will diminish vital public services rather than build a better future for all of us.

Labor's Push Leads To COVID-19 Assistance Fund for Essential Workers

Organized labor’s determination to help essential workers who were made sick on the job by COVID-19 has led to the creation of the Connecticut Essential Workers COVID-19 Assistance Fund.

During the budget implementer session in mid-June, state legislators finalized the inclusion of $34 million to establish this fund to assist potentially thousands of essential workers who contracted the novel coronavirus on the job through no fault of their own.

Coming This Fall!
