A special thank you to your negotiators who have volunteered to represent your interests at the table.

INFORMATIONAL MEETING ATTENDANCE

Hello AFSCME Local 3331

Yesterday we had the first 2 of 6 informational meetings regarding proposed changes for the contract.

If you did not attend yesterday, there is still time to attend one of the final 4 meetings. (Please see the schedule in the previous post).

We have already heard some misinformation that has been spreading through the Bargaining Unit.  Please keep an open mind and hear the proposal for yourself at one of the meetings. 

We look forward to your feedback to building reps and your President Cheryl Anderson at:  president3331@hotmail.com

(Please note that your emails will be reviewed and catalogued, but due to the large volume on this issue will not be responded to individually).

As always, please make sure any Union discussion or feedback is completed during breaks or personal time. 

Thank you to the officers and negotiators who have given their time, energy and talents to working for a fair contract.
