The
2010 AFT-NH Legislative Agenda is focused on
the following areas:
- The
protection and preservation of the integrity and
solvency of the NH Retirement System
- Ensure
consistent educational funding for all children
by fully funding the state's constitutional obligation
of adequacy for all children served in public school
education
- Ensure
that the state of New Hampshire will maintain categorical
educational aid programs that support children,
schools and taxpayers (Building aid, categorical
special education aid and vocation tuition and transportation).
- Protection
and/or enhancing of our rights in the collective
bargaining process. AFT-NH advocates for expansion
of those areas that are mandatory subjects of bargaining
during negotiations. Two examples of those areas
are disciplinary procedures/standards such as just
cause and agency fee.

AFT-NH
Legislative
Update
June
1, 2010
What
I know!
Stalemate.
As of the close of business on Friday, neither the House nor
the Senate would give ground in their week-long attempt to
eliminate the $295 million state budget deficit. There was
agreement on most of the solutions, but including a gambling
measure as one of them is the roadblock. The Senate wants
it, the House and the Governor don't. At this point, it is
unclear if they will come back for a meeting on Tuesday. If
not, then the Governor may call for a special session to start
immediately. In a special session, they start over; any and
every idea is open for discussion.
So
now, we wait and see what happens.
Remember,
it is very
important to talk to your colleagues and encourage them to
sign up for the AFT-NH “GET-ACTIVE” program so that they will
receive updates on legislation and be prepared to take action
by contacting legislators. The ability of our members to take
action will be critically important as we fend off efforts
to reduce our retirement benefits.
In
solidarity,
Laura
Hainey
AFT-NH
President
