People join unions to protect their right to have a voice at the table with management. They join unions to have due process if disciplined or terminated. They join unions for the right to have a contract that has been forged by a group of workers that through their struggle fought for equal rights. Rights that are not usually afforded by management on their own accord but must be fought by workers coming together for one purpose and that is to have a say at their work site. A right to dispute without retaliation. 

The Negotiating Team has been hard at work reviewing the surveys that we received to include in our proposals to the County.  We CANNOT get into details as this could cause the County to file an Improper Practice charges against us.  We want you to know that we are listening to all comments being told to us.

It was a good thought back in April when I wanted to send Mass Emails to all the dues paying members.  I've been struggling to get the right platform to do this.  I've tried Roadrunner, Gmail as well as Outlook.  I just get errors and it is such a huge process.  I have emails in Notepad, Excel as well as in each email system.  I am looking to do this in another platform that will allow for lots of emails to be sent.  Please be patient while I transition to the new Mass Email system!  Thank you ---- Holly
