Maryland’s Governor signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) last Thursday. Wes Moore’s signature is the final step to formalize the new contract with the state that over 99% of AFSCME members voted in favor of by ballot vote. State workers will get a 3% cost of living adjustment in July and those eligible for step increases will also receive one in July.  The new contract runs through 2026.
