NAGE ERIP claims collapse, NAGE finally gives up on promoting false hope

For weeks the folks of Burgin Parkway have been insinuating that they had an "agreement" with the Commonwealth for an Early Retirement Package (ERIP.)

We've been telling you here that it had to be a false claim, I think it was surely meant only to gull the weak minded into voting for concessions that are not allowed under the current contract.

In spite of a joint public statement issued in July by the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House and the Governor; flatly stating that there was going to BE NO ERIP.......

.......NAGE has been telling you they had an agreement for an ERIP...... why?, In my opinion it shows  they have NO RESPECT for THE RANK AND FILE members who pay their salaries..... they do nothing but INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE..... and you keep paying your dues to these prevaricators....


Now NAGE has finally been forced to admit their their claims are nothing but flummery. There will be no ERIP..... which anyone with half a brain knew anyway.....


Why the hell have they wasted our time by repeatedly claiming they would deliver an ERIP package.....when there was never a shred of hope....

.......repeatedly making these claims, and then failing to deliver can't help but damage their  CREDIBILITY..
...... CLEARLY, THIS WEEKS LONG RAP ABOUT ERIP AMOUNTS TO A FAIR INFERENCE THAT THEY WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING TO GET YOU TO VOTE FOR CONCESSIONS AND TO VOLUNTARILY CUT YOUR OWN BENEFITS AND PAY......FOR NOTHING IN RETURN!


VOTE NO!!! on the stinkin' furlough contract, IN MY OPINION you'll wind up taking the furloughs, the planned layoffs will proceed inspite of the furloughs and other concessions, and the State will again stiff the employees on their paltry 1% (over 3 years)  raise anyway.

VOTE NO, ----VOTE NO CONFIDENCE IN NAGE....they are worse than useless.... they are obviously willing to sell you out!

Here's their statement from the web page:

State Rejects Early Retirement Incentive Program
For many weeks, NAGE has been working with the administration on the issue (ISSUE?..... what happened to the "agreement" you supposedly had..... your assurances are worthless!)of an early retirement incentive program. While it appears that the state is willing to continue—on an agency-by-agency basis—the practice of offering a one-time cash payment for individuals to retire early, the administration will not agree to any "years of service/age" early retirement incentive program that will change an employee's pension calculation.
