Patrick points to savings from latest union deal
BOSTON - Gov. Deval Patrick says another state employee labor union has agreed to a new contract with concessions that could save money and avoid job cuts. Patrick announced yesterday that a unit representing nearly 9,500 workers has ratified a three-year deal that would save the state $3 million in the current fiscal year and $22.8 million over the duration of the contract. The governor says the concessions will also help ``mitigate'' further state employee layoffs. The union represents workers for several agencies, including the Departments of Developmental Service and Mental Health. The administration announced a contract agreement last month with nearly 8,000 members of the Service Employees International Union. The contracts must be approved by the Legislature.
