PEF to Release Cost-Savings Plan for State

ALBANY, NY (01/12/2010)(readMedia)-- The New York State Public Employees Federation (PEF) will release details of a cost-savings plan that will save state taxpayers millions and help balance the budget.

At a time when the state is facing severe fiscal constraints, the union representing the state's professional workforce has found ways to cut costs without adding to a beleaguered economy by putting more people out on the street and in need of state services. These practical solutions can be implemented immediately.

The cost-savings plan will be released at a press conference;

Thursday, January 14, 2010

11 a.m.

LCA Press Room (Room 130 )

Legislative Office Building, Albany

PEF President Kenneth Brynien will present the plan and be available for questions.

PEF is the state's second-largest state-employee union, representing 59,000 professional, scientific and technical employees.
