The 911 Telecommunicators Benefits Working Group meets again on November 9th.
The agenda includes voting on whether 911 Telecommunicators should have enhanced pension benefits including a 55 retirement and if so should they be added to the PERA Correctional Plan.

The Minnesota Correctional Officer Retirement Association (MNCORA) is asking for letters of opposition from CO's and Retirees.
I am encouraging all of you to write one, LELS sent a letter including letters of support to add dispatchers to our plan!
This is from MNCORA's site:
We are asking Correctional Officers and Retirees to send a letter of opposition to adding 911 Dispatchers to the PERA Correctional Plan send to:
Talking Points:
-State where you work, or worked and for how long.
-State why you are opposed to adding 911 Dispatchers to the PERA Correctional Plan.
-Did your time before entering the PERA Correctional Plan transfer in? If you've become licensed did your Correctional time credit follow you? They seek to join the Correctional Plan with past credit!
-How long before you were, or will be vested in the PERA Correctional Plan?
-Have you been assaulted or witnessed a CO assaulted on the job?
-Have you become sick with Covid or other diseases from inmates or know CO's that have?
-Put your first and last name at the bottom, or at least first name and last initial.(LELS letters are anonymous!)
We will be sending our letter to the Working Group before the Tuesday meeting and would like to pass CO letters along too, and will continue to accumulate for future actions.
