AUGUSTA - The four Democratic state representatives serving Bangor, Reps. Barbara Cardone, Joseph Perry, Sr., Amy Roeder and Laura Supica, each received a 100% rating on votes to support state workers, according to a recent scorecard released by the Maine State Employees Association, Local 1989 of the Service Employees International Union (MSEA-SEIU).
"Supporting the health, well-being and livelihood of Maine's workforce is a no-brainer to me," said Supica. "That's why I supported legislation this session that makes strides in ensuring Maine workers receive fair wages and benefits and have good working conditions. I am proud to be recognized for these efforts and will continue to advocate for our workers in the coming months."
The member-run union group scored legislators' votes on key bills related to state workers from the first session of the 130th Legislature, including the Back-to-Basics Budget, funding collective bargaining agreements with executive branch employees, binding arbitration and the two-year state budget.
