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!
