NEWS:

IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS:

 REMINDER:  YOUR UNION DUES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE COOPERATION ACT IS IN DANGER

The local just received word that the Collective Bargaining bill, that passed by a  landslide vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, is in danger of losing in the U.S. Senate. Senate offices in every state are being bombarded by phone calls from supporters of our two greatest enemies, National Right to Work and League of Cities.

The Local is asking that each member, please, contact our State Senators either by email or phone and ask them to support this bill.

The message to deliver: Tell them to co-sponsor and support Senator Judd Gregg(R-NH)’s bill to help fire fighters and police officers.  Tell them the bill provides a voice in the workplace and that it passed in the House with well over 300 votes.  Tell them to call Judd and co-sponsor his Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act.

We desperately need all your help to get this bill passed. Lets not be outdone by these anti-union groups.

WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE, BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
