Home Page | | LOBBY DAY…There was another tremendous showing of union solidarity and concern for public services on Wednesday. Well over 500 AFSCME members and leaders came to Madison and spent time meeting face to face with legislators on critical issues such as outsourcing, disability eligibility, and collective bargaining for protective status to name just a few. Credit goes to the International and Take Back staff for hosting a well organized and effective event. More importantly, tremendous credit goes to all of you who took time from your work and personal lives and came to Madison to deal with issues that affect all of our futures. It was a great day and a job well done.
BARGAINING…we have scheduled approximately 22 days to begin the bargaining process, beginning 3/31. Initially, pairs of Teams will report to Madison and spend time starting the process and trying to get some rhythm going to bring about a contract. Notices are going out to individual bargaining team members this week about scheduling and when to report. Council 24 will establish a communication network about daily events and progress as things get going, and we will publicize those when they are ready.
