The Contract is now the NEW 2000-2001 version. We are dedicated to improve the terms and conditions of employment for State Employees. Our Union is primarily organized to secure better wages and working conditions. We hold that we are organized in order to participate in the decisions which affect our members in the work place. One of the fundamental tenets of democratic government is the consent of the governed.
Unions are an extension of that idea.
When State Employees are organized we are able to make a better, and stronger Union. The minute we stop, we start to wither and die. Organizing is the heart beat of our Union. Whether it is collective bargaining, contract enforcement, legislative activity, or any other program that our Union engages in, it is vitally important that we are at full strength and have the total support of all. For Unions, the work place and polling place are inseparable, and the exercise of the awesome rights and responsibilities of citizenship are equally required at both.
