We are proud to announce a Tentative Agreement between A.F.S.C.M.E Local 749 and The State of Connecticut Judicial Branch regarding Court Recording Monitors. This agreement has been an ongoing issue for over a decade. Both the Union and the Branch worked hard and came to a resolution that benefits our members for years to come.

- Provides for transparency on courtroom assignments

- Creates standardized Training and Procedures for all Court Recording Monitors
- Transfer opportunities for Court Recording Monitors based on seniority

The biggest take away is that your hard work and the integrity of your hard work is protected. The agreement gives all Court Recording Monitors transparency on assignments, training, additional hours and transfer opportunities.
