Please contact your State Representatives and speak to them about the following bills.

HOUSE BILL 2920 & SENATE BILL 6587

These bills would decrease UI tax payments for employers and undermine the UI trust fund balance available for so many unemployed workers. Labor’s position is VOTE NO

HOUSE BILL 3129 & SENATE BILL 6793

These bills are “title only” bills that address UI benefits. While our position is one of concern on HB 3129 & SB 6793, our intention is to balance any tax reductions the business community may receive with benefit improvements.
