MainePERS: 3% COLA for State plan, 2.5% COLA for PLDs

On Aug. 12, the Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS) Board of Trustees approved a 3% cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase effective for eligible retirees in the State-Judicial-Legislative-Teacher Retirement Plan and a 2.5% COLA for eligible retirees in Participating Local Districts (PLDs), all effective September 2021. The 130th Legislature respected the MainePERS COLA process. All plans will receive the maximum COLA allowed by law. According to MainePERS, “Eligible State, Teacher, Judicial, and Legislative retirement plan retirees will receive the 3% COLA on their benefit up to $22,947.11 (which is the 2021 base), or a maximum increase of $57.37/month. The 2021 COLA-base will increase by 3%, to $23,635.52. The total amount that will be paid to the approximately 37,100 eligible benefit recipients in these plans during the next 12 months as a result of the 2021 COLA is expected to be approximately $18,300,000. “Eligible Participating Local District – Consolidated Plan (PLD) retirees will receive a 2.5% COLA on their current benefit. The total amount that will be paid to the approximately 8,600 eligible benefit recipients in this plan during the next 12 months as a result of the 2021 COLA is expected to be approximately $3,900,000.”

MSEA-SEIU PASER Members Jim Betts and MSEA-SEIU Vice President Allison Perkins stand with Senator Craig Hickman, center, outside the Augusta Civic Center before the vote on the Back to Basics Budget. A proven advocate for workers, Senator Hickman once again voted 100% pro-MSEA and worker in the 2021 legislative session.

MSEA-SEIU PASER Members Cindy Oakes and Ramona Welton stand with House Speaker Ryan Fecteau at the State House. On every issue, Speaker Fecteau led the way in the Maine House in support of MSEA and workers.

During the 2021 Maine Legislature, we tracked every state legislator’s votes on key issues impacting Maine workers. Based on their votes, we scored them. The higher the percentage score, the more they voted pro-MSEA and pro-worker. The lower the percentage score, they more they voted against MSEA and workers. Some legislators scored a perfect 100%. Others voted against MSEA and workers at every turn. Look inside to see how your legislators voted on the following bills; then hold them accountable in their next election:

Back to Basics Budget (LD 715): Passed March 30 and signed into law by Governor Mills, LD 715 ensures the continuity of state services by avoiding a state shutdown. We supported it.

Executive Branch funding (LD 1735): On July 19, at our urging, the Maine House and Senate passed LD 1735, An Act to Fund Collective Bargaining Agreements with Executive Branch Employees. The Governor signed it into law. The Legislature approved increasing the cap to $75 million available for raises in the current two-year state budget.

Binding arbitration (LD 677, vetoed by Governor Mills): This legislation, which we supported, would have strengthened collective bargaining rights by making arbitration binding on key economic issues for public workers. The rights of public workers need to be strengthened to defend our families and the services we provide to the people of Maine. While we’re encouraged it passed in both the Maine House and the Maine Senate, we’re disappointed that Governor Mills once again vetoed this legislation. We’ll keep fighting to strengthen collective bargaining rights.

Bipartisan State Budget (LD 221): Expanding upon the Back to Basics Budget, this State Budget bill passed June 30 with the support and mobilization of your fellow union members and was signed into law by the Governor.

Ought-not-to-pass: Anti-worker legislation (LD 97) We’re encouraged that a majority of legislators in both the Maine House and the Maine Senate defeated this latest, ill-conceived attempt to diminish the voice of Maine workers in determining their wages, benefits and working conditions.

Joint resolution: End the state employee pay gap (SP 586): At our urging, both the Maine House and

Maine Senate passed a joint resolution urging the Mills administration to address the well-documented state employee pay gap and swiftly reach agreement with our Executive Branch negotiating team. This legislative support helped us secure our Tentative Agreement with the administration Aug. 17.

Protect taxpayers against privatization schemes (LD 875, signed into law by Governor Mills): We supported LD 875, An Act to Protect Taxpayers in the Privatization of Services and to Establish the State Procurement Review Committee. It will establish and implement a system of checks and balances to determine whether state services should be privatized or contracted out, and to determine whether all the requirements of bidding and privatization contracts have been met.

Advocating for quality services, workers

Maine Senate President Troy Jackson has led the way in the Maine Senate in support of quality services and Maine workers. From left, MSEA-SEIU PASER Members Ramona Welton and Cynthia Oakes share a moment with President Jackson after meeting with him in his office.

MSEA-SEIU PASER Members, from left, Area 3 Director JB Whipple, Retiree Member John Patrick, Area 2 Director David Projansky and Vice President Allison Perkins made our voice heard at the State House June 30 as the Legislature passed a joint resolution in support of ending the state employee pay gap and swiftly resolving our Executive Branch contract negotiations.

MSEA-SEIU members thank Representative Thom Harnett for sponsoring and building legislative support for LD 1042, An Act to Protect State Workers from Exposure to Harmful Substances. Signed into law by Governor Mills, LD 1042 addresses the fact that the State of Maine is filled with older state buildings that have been in decline for many years. This new law will identify and catalog problem state buildings and related testing. It will create new standards relating to containment levels and improve testing requirements. It will improve the ability of workers to raise and resolve safety concerns.

MSEA-SEIU Member Katrina Ray-Saulis, facing camera, president of our Adjunct Faculty Chapter, joined in a rally June 8 outside the State House in support of a tax system that meets Maine needs, including the need for affordable housing, financial support for family caregivers, expanded access to healthcare and for Maine’s wealthiest citizens to pay their fair share.
