Washington state employees are going to have mandatory furlough days again. Just announced at the Gov’s press conference. #washingtonstate #stateworkers #publicservice
@pseudonymsupreme Unpaid, I presume. Yuck! Dealt with this a few times in California before I retired.
@ted_duffield Yep. This will be my third time in 15+ years. It basically wipes out the COLA raise the union bargained for. Fun times!
@pseudonymsupreme Are they blaming this on a loss of federal funding subsidies for state programs?
@ted_duffield Nope. Massive state budget shortfall. Lower than expected revenue forecasts.
