A budget plan that includes raises and a bonus for state employees will be presented Thursday by a bipartisian group of House members.
Please contact your Legislators immediately to show support for this plan.
Late last night, both the Senate and House passed the Governor’s Supplemental Budget proposal out of their Finance Committees and it is expected to be heard Thursday for full floor votes. As it appears that the budget is going to pass later this week, TSEA is asking all state employees to contact their personal Legislators today and ask for support of two budget amendments that will be presented on the floor Thursday.
Below are the two amendments from a plan a bipartisan group of House Legislators are calling the “Tennessee Solution.” The plan includes the following:
- A 1 percent raise for state employees and teachers, contingent upon revenue collection. A portion of the raise will be included in the current budget to be paid-out if and when revenue numbers reach the total required amount for the raise.
- A one-time bonus for state employees and teachers, possibly for employees with 3 years or more of service
All state employees should contact their Legislators immediately to show support for this plan.
TSEA has been working tirelessly with your Legislators and are very thankful for the support this courageous group of bipartisan House Legislators has shown with this plan; however, our work is not yet done. Legislators need your help to push this legislation through the system.
EVERY state employee needs to contact their Legislator immediately to show support for this plan. We only have 24 hours to contact Legislators before they vote, and this is the last opportunity to change the budget.
A simple message will do:
Tell them you support the budget plan that includes funding for a contingency raise and a bonus for state employees. Ask for their vote to pass the amendments when they vote on Thursday. Finally, thank them for their support of state employees.
