Last night a tentative agreement was reached with Eversource over the combination of the Blue & Green contracts, which includes the Test/ Tech and Admin Support contracts.  We are working to get the final product in your hands by tomorrow.

The negotiating team will be travelling to each district next week to explain the contracts and answer questions.

It looks like the vote will take place on June 6th…more info to follow.

Raised House Bill No. 5509 is "an act concerning staffing levels for electric service lineworkers" which has been referred to the Joint Committee on Energy and Technology. The aim of the bill is to establish minimum staffing levels of electric service lineworkers for electric distribution companies, i.e. Eversource and UI. John Fernandes, along with a few others, went to Hartford to give their testimony on March 10, 2016.
