  Hartman then tries to hang up - but apparently does not realize his cell phone is still on, according to a copy of the audio supplied to The Associated Press.
  
  Hartman, executive director of AFSCME's Council 77, is then heard boasting that he sought to prevent lawmakers from attending the other group's Presidents Day rally during the recent legislative session.
  
  AFSCME is an AFL-CIO member, while the other group is not.AFSCME held a competing event on that holiday, also at the Capitol.Both rallies focused on better pay and work environments for state employees.
  
  "Kenny Perdue put the word out, saying ‘Now, don't be going to that non-AFL-CIO union rally,"' Hartman said on the recording."And that's, that's how it went down.It's not anything we necessarily did.We went to Kenny."
  
  Hartman did not return repeated phone messages requesting comment left Sunday and Monday on his office, home and cell phones.
  
  Perdue, president of the state AFL-CIO, said he knew nothing of the recording or of any plan to hamper the rival rally.

  Ed Hartman, state director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said his union would be content with a 3 percent hike, but obviously favors a greater increase.
  
  Hartman said workers desire at least a 3.5 or 4 percent pay raise, or at least an additional $800 for each state employee.
  
  The union tends to frown upon across-the-board raises, however, because the lowest-paid workers would remain at the bottom, Hartman said.
  
  Since Gov.Manchin took office in January 2005, he has awarded state employees two pay raises, according to the Department of Administration.

  "The governor has his own agenda, and it doesn't always mesh with state employees," Hartman said about Manchin's addressing of state worker pay."We find him to be fair.He talks to us and does what he says.He sticks to his guns."
  
  Hartman applauded the governor's efforts in other areas, such as developing a "meet and consult" pilot project involving regional jails, General Services and the divisions of Purchasing and Highways.That project allows workers to relay concerns about workplace conditions and personnel matters, which are sent to the governor's office.
  
  But pay remains a top focus, especially since West Virginia ranks 50th in state government employee earnings according to 2006 data cited by Hartman.The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the average West Virginia government employee earns $3,092 a month, the lowest in the country.The U.S. average is $4,098.
  
  Hartman said a 3.5 percent raise every year over the next few years could bring the state out of that position.
  
  "You can't let years go by when there's nothing done," Hartman said."That's what keeps you at the bottom."
