Eighty Thousand Pennsylvania Workers Facing Possible Empty Pay Envelopes

http://www.laborradio.org/node/11119

Pennsylvania state workers could see an empty paycheck envelope if a new budget isn�t passed by July 1. Jesse Russell reports:

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell issued a warning to the state�s 80,000 public sector workers on Thursday, if the legislature doesn�t pass a budget by July 1, they may not get paid. In an e-mail the governor told workers they should continue showing up for work because they will be paid retroactively once a budget deal is reached. Republican�s in the state senate are demanding Rendell make more cuts to his budget and have proposed an alternative that is six percent less.
