Hi ~ Our webmaster Dean Winklespecht has been promoted, so I am brushing off my web skills and updating the website.
Mary Reading, a bargaining unit covered employee of AFSCME Local 2456 is having a bake sale to support Japanese Relief efforts, we like Mary a whole lot so we are encouraging you to stop my the Midtown Scholar Bookstore on Saturday, April 2, 2011. The flyer is available here... http://www.2456.org/BakeSaleFlyer.pdf
Negotiations, on Tuesday, we got to see the Corbett's Negotiating teams wish list. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it wasn't good either, but it is just the beginning. I was encouraged by the negotiator's, (Frank something I forget) willingness to negotiate. He even ask for and got Joyce Cullpepper's "we are one" pin from her.
Mr. Fillman has ask us not to post anything specific online, or in email, etc. I am trying very hard to comply with those wishes. Several other negotiators haven't complied. (Being new to this negotiating thing I am trying to be a good kid) What I am willing to do, is, if you call me, I will go over what the Commonwealth is asking for, what we ask for and my very humble opinion.
We will be meeting again with the Corbett team on April 22, 2011. I will give you all updates then. I still don't think we need to panic. This seems like a reasonable bunch of folks, nothing like those idiots in Wisconsin and Ohio and all those other states where Public Sectors workers are being cast in the role of villains and thugs.
Since I am back to being the webmaster extraordinaire, send me your updates, your news and bake sale flyers and I will get them up on our web page, http://www.2456.org/.
In Solidarity, Della
