Pushing Ahead

I will have forms available soon for you to add to your MNTLEL survey when it comes out. Fill out the forms and add it to the envelope. Let's have a united front and turn them in together!

*Show MNTLEL we want a merge of our pension with Police and Fire. This doubles our pension, gives Police and Fire money, saves the County money and gives us a raise because we will no longer have to pay Social Security.

*We want a seat on the PERA Board to monitor our pension.

*We want the Corrections Bill of Rights to have teeth.

Licensure may be nice, but guarantees nothing except more training, the Pension is long term.

ENDORSEMENT NEWS: THE HCSDA ENDORSED SHERIFF STANEK!

What did they gain? Nothing.

Fact: According to the County Attorney's Office with the stroke of his pen Sheriff Stanek can restore the 1.5% inconvenient work schedule pay as he promised when we switched to the 28 day schedule. Instead they and us are having to arbitrate! HCSDA what have you gained? He can now say Labor Endorsed. Please tell me what he has done for Labor? Licensed staff has been hurt just as bad by the 28 day schedule, a little solidarity would have been huge. While you didn't have to go the lengths us Teamsters did and VOTE NO CONFIDENCE, you had the power not to endorse.

I think the HCSDA is more about what it doesn't want to lose than what it wants to gain... Among other things, I'm sure they don't want to lose out on the promotional opportunities much like the Teamsters have! Just a thought...

Again, can you tell me what he's done for Labor?

If you look at his website, he has plenty of labor endorsements...

As far as I know... He's done nothing for anyone but himself! We all know that...
