1%:\u00a0 It’s my money and I want it now!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, we won the arbitration.\u00a0 No, the County is not appealing the ruling of the arbitrator.\u00a0 But when are we going to see the money? \u00a0 Good question.\u00a0 I can tell you that last week, Council 31 approved the revised pay grid that was sent by the County in light of the arbitration which includes the 1% salary adjustment and that pay grid was sent to the Comptroller last week for implementation.\u00a0 I don’t have a date certain for when it will appear on our checks and if I did, they probably would blow that date anyway.\u00a0 So you are waiting just like me and it’s our money and we want it now.<\/p>\n

Summer Party<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Local will be having its annual summer celebration at a new location this year: NAVY PIER BEER GARDEN.\u00a0 This location is very convenient via public transportation.\u00a0 The Local leadership encourages everyone to use public transportation to avoid unnecessary legal and financial complications.<\/p>\n

Here are the details: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 6pm to 10 pm.<\/strong> Members and Law Clerks are free but you need to send a $10.00 refundable check for each member or clerk attending to the Local Secretary, Amy Thompson, at 26th St. (HTF) and you must do it by July 22, 2009<\/span> (read deadline<\/em>).\u00a0 The checks should be made payable to “The Jack Carey Memorial Scholarship Fund”. <\/em>When you arrive at the party, you can choose to claim your check or you can donate it to the memorial scholarship. \u00a0If you don’t show up, there is no refund.<\/p>\n

By the way, here is the policy on guests, who are not members and not clerks:\u00a0 the non-refundable<\/span> check you send in to reserve and admit your guest must be made payable as above but the amount is $25.00.<\/p>\n

See you at the pier.<\/p>\n

MVP<\/span><\/p>\n

You probably received a letter by now from the Local written by Local Vice President, Brendan Max urging your participation in the People program at the MVP level of $4.20 per pay period.\u00a0 We have had an excellent response and ask those of you who have not yet responded to do so because your participation in our political action committee ensures that our voice\u00a0is heard by politicians who determine the funding level for our salaries and benefits.<\/p>\n

Golf Outing<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Dave Figura (MDD) who is chairing our golf outing committee.\u00a0 Dave is searching for a good date and location for the outing.\u00a0 A date and location\u00a0will be posted as soon as it is available.<\/p>\n

Rosa Silva<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations to sister Rosa Marie Silva, who was recently elected as president of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois.\u00a0 Rosa, we are all very proud of your accomplishment and wish you a very productive term!<\/p>\n

Contract Negotiations<\/span><\/p>\n

Difficult contract negotiations between the union and the County of Cook continue and we will update the members via email bursts as circumstances warrant.\u00a0 Not getting the emails? \u00a0Stay in the know by sending us your name and worksite via email to board@cookcountypd.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Jack Carey Memorial Scholarship<\/span><\/p>\n

And finally, please put September 1, 2009 on your calendar.\u00a0 That’s the day 100 of you will be partying and watching the Cubs play the Astros at Wrigley Field.\u00a0\u00a0Tickets are selling now\u00a0for the two hour party and night game<\/a> at a discounted price of $85.00 until June 30th.\u00a0 The prices go up to $100 dollars after that.\u00a0 Sox fan?\u00a0 Just send money.\u00a0 Thanks for supporting the scholarship that benefits law clerks who clerk at our <\/em>office!<\/p>\n

In Solidarity,<\/p>\n
