The Union Leader posts an AP report that Gov. John Lynch is again meeting with the union representing state employees:
Lynch is meeting with State Employee' Association negotiators Tuesday, the day the union's contract expires. The existing provisions will remain in effect until a new agreement is reached
Under the Evergreen Provision passed by the last legislature, state employees will continue to receive annual step increases even though their contract has expired. This leaves little reason for the union to agree to a new labor pact when that lacks the money to increase salaries.
The state's fiscal year ends tonight. Lynch plans to sign the state's two-year budget today.
