On October 31 at the State House several pension reclassification bills were heard in the Joint Committee on Public Service. SEIU Local 888 members came to support several bills that affect our members’ pensions. Members representing Emergency 911, nuclear reactor operators and veteran caregivers came out to testify in support of pension upgrade bills. Email Rand at rwilson@seiu888.org for copies of the testimony.
