Union Rallies At W. Va. Capitol
WEST VIRGINIA....
Members of the Public Workers Union are asking lawmakers and Governor Joe Manchin to recognize seniority rights, provide a cost-of-living increase and halt involuntary transfers. Some West Virginia state employees rallied at the Capitol Monday for better working conditions and presented a petition to Manchin signed by nearly 2,000 supporters. The union opposes premium hikes to their health coverage which were approved by the finance board of the Public Employees Insurance Agency following a series of hearings around the state. The workers union wants to require that a minimum number of board members attend future public hearings
