PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 3rd day of August, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue, as framed by Petitioners, is as follows:
Did [the] Commonwealth Court erroneously affirm the decision of the State
Employees’ Retirement Board that union stipends, paid to union officers to work
exclusively for the union, are retirement-covered compensation, when that
decision was clearly contrary to the mandates of the State Employees’
Retirement Code and inconsistent with decisions of this Honorable Court?
