IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS:

DUES CHANGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2008

Please remember to have your dues changed to $15 per paycheck beginning January 1, 2008.  You can pay for the entire year by giving a check to the Treasurer, OR if you have the direct deposit option, please contact Finance and the Farmer's Bank (Pemberton Branch) ASAP to make the necessary adjustments.  We appreciate your immediate attention.

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!

Our Senators contact information:

SENATOR BENJAMIN L. CARDIN     202-224-4524     CLICK HERE TO EMAIL SENATOR CARDIN

SENATOR BARBARA A. MIKULSKI     202-224-4654     CLICK HERE TO EMAIL SENATOR MIKULSKI

PLEASE CALL & EMAIL, AND ASK YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME.


SHIFT STEWARDS/COMMITTEES

If you are currently serving as your shift's/battalion's steward, please update the EBoard.  If you are interested in serving on a committee for 2008, contact your shift steward or the EBoard. 


A REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS

The administration has requested that all Fire Department Personnel remove any IAFF logos from any part of their uniform or turnout gear. This includes the small IAFF stickers that many members have on their helmets.

The local encourages all members to conform with this directive, forthwith.
