2010 Retiree Council Legislative Agenda
- Seek continuation of a fully paid health care benefit for active qualified employees and retired employees.
- Seek restoration of the employer's contribution to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System to at least match the employee contribution of 6%.
- SEANC endorses the repeal of G.S. §95-98 and supports the enactment of legislation to govern collective bargaining
by North Carolina public employees; further SEANC will seek to amend
G.S. §143-3.3(g) and G.S. §135-18.8 to delete language that voids dues
deduction from payroll or from a retirement benefit if an employees' or
retirees' association engages in collective bargaining.
- Seek an increase in the
retirement accrual rate to 2.0 to provide employees with 60 percent of
their final compensation upon retirement.
