Legislature returns for special session The General Assembly returned Thursday for what turned into a long one-day special session, though it did not take up any bills that directly affect state employees or retirees. The return did, however, give SEANC members from the Greenville area (pictured below) a chance to come to Raleigh and voice their concerns over the recently executed merger between ECU Physicians (a state entity) and Vidant Health. The merger will give away state assets and jeopardize the future and stability of 1,200 state employees. It essentially gives Vidant a monopoly over health services in Eastern North Carolina and will dramatically weaken competition in a community that desperately relies upon affordable and accessible healthcare. Legislators will return on Aug. 18 to work on redistricting or any other bills they see fit to address. SEANC’s lobbyists will be on hand throughout to make sure your voice is heard on any issue that may arise.

Make the switch to bank draft now!

In the closing days of the last legislative session SEANC was able to thwart several attempts to take away your right to have SEANC dues, insurance premiums and other payments easily deducted from your paycheck. SEANC is asking all members to consider switching over to bank draft, where payments are pulled from members’ bank accounts each month instead of their paychecks, NOW. We have launched a contest to incentivize members to make the switch! We will give away 25 prizes of $1,000 to randomly selected members who have made the switch to bank draft or annual pay by the SEANC Convention. Five winners will be selected from each region. Anyone who has switched to bank draft or annual pay by the convention will be entered into the drawing. The 25 winners will be selected at the convention on stage. Additionally, everyone who makes the switch by July 1 will be entered into a drawing for $500!
