Gov. Cuomo is scheduled to have a pow-wow with a coalition of labor leaders on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues, including his push for pension reform, sources said.
Reps from the AFL-CIO, the Civil Service Employees Association, Public Employees Federation and other unions are expected at the meeting.
A Cuomo administration official said Cuomo started meeting with different unions last week to discuss various items in the budget, including construction issues, the building of a new Tappan Zee bridge as well as pension reform.
Cuomo raised eyebrows last week when he said he was negotiating pension reform with some unions despite previously insisting he had no intention to do so because he views it as a decision for the Legislature, not worker unions.
Aides say he is merely going over the impact of his plan.
