HARTFORD, Conn. — A state employee union vote on Friday scuttled a labor-concessions package that Gov. Dannel Malloy was counting on to balance a two-year state budget, setting the stage for cuts that could include thousands of layoffs.
With the deal rejected, Malloy said he had no choice but to begin issuing layoff notices to as many as 7,500 employees. He said the number could be higher if there’s a delay.
