All members are urged to attend as many hearings as possible but especially the one on Monday the 29th. The 29th will be the most important of the four hearing dates because we will be Rallying with thousands of other AFSCME members. Yes you will need to take off time to attend so please start making arrangements immediatly with your supervisor and partners. The Local is planning on sharing busses with other AFSCME locals who are similarly going through layoff and furlough issues. Although there may not be enough room in the Board room to accommodate all members, we are planning on rallying outside the County building and getting our message out to the public: don’t balance your budget on our backs.
By the way, if you cannot take a personal, vacation or floating holiday, then make plans to attend one of the three hearings in the Suburbs– since they are scheduled in the evening at 6:30 pm. Whatever you do, get out there!
