In an agreement between a public employee’s union and the governor, state workers will be furloughed. The agreement was made as the state moves to compensate for a 54 billion dollar shortfall due to the covid 19 crisis. According to a union statement workers will take two furlough days every month for two years, which equals a 9.23% pay reduction. A 2.5 percent scheduled pay increase will also be delayed 2 years.
