The State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition (SEBAC) serves to
unite all 15 unions representing approximately 45,000 full-time
equivalent Connecticut state public service workers together to address
issues of common concern. The coalition was recognized in 1986 by Public
Act 86-411 to negotiate with the State on healthcare and retirement
security, which impact its individual unions’ active members, as well as
retirees.
Members of individual unions are covered by 34 contracts, as well as a
long-term healthcare and pension agreement SEBAC negotiated in 1997,
which is effective through 2017. Over the past 20 years, the coalition
has helped to save hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars while
providing quality, affordable care through its work with the State on
the Health Care Cost Containment Committee.
