Union deal can save state big costs from layoffs


Taxpayers millions can be saved in the event of a government shutdown next month, due to the Minnesota’s public employees union tentative deal with the state. The proposed agreement, which is still to be approved, would not give laid-off workers payouts for their banked time off but their insurance benefits would remain intact. The deal means the laid off state workers would not get big severance or vacation checks as soon as the shut down starts. It also means that the employees could begin collecting their unemployment insurance quickly after they are laid off.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
