A petition to include Public Safety Telecommunicators in the IPERS Protection Occupation Class as outlined in the IPERS Telecommunicator Initiative's legislative proposal.

They deal with so much trauma on the phones all day. It is about time they get the same benefits as the cops and fire guys.

My wife works the overnight shift and it is brutal. These people keep us safe and deserve to retire with dignity.
