Keeping our eyes on other states...

I know what is happening in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and the other states with Public Employees and collective bargaining has us concerned, especially with negotiations coming up.

As of today, February 28, 2011, there have been no contract negotiation meeting scheduled with the Corbett Administration. In several interviews, Governor Corbett has said he intends to negotiate fairly with the Unions. I have no reason to believe he won't. Anything you may hear other than that is pure speculation.

I know it is a scary time, but we must not let rumors and speculation control our emotions. Check your facts, and if you aren't sure, call one of our Stewards to get the information verified.

Our next local meeting is on March 29, 2010 at 6pm at the AFSCME Conference Center in Harrisburg, PA. I look forward to seeing you there.

In Solidarity,

Della
