Got plans for Friday? You should. Don't forget the new spring break holiday is this Friday, March 9th thanks to our new union contract!

Were you part of the 98% who voted 'YES' to ratify our contract yesterday?

February 2012 Ratification Vote

"...the millionaire Republican backers behind these measures have arguments that are both dangerously wrong about the huge added public costs and cavalier about the hardships and retirement insecurity the proposed initiatives would have on current and retired public employees."

Viewpoints: Pension-cutting plans on ballot promise savings but don't deliver - sacbee.com Sometimes the truth hurts. In this case, the truth is that the two pension-slashing ballot measures that may face voters in November would provide no effective reform while dramatically increasing taxpayer costs by as much as $1 billion a year for as long as 30 years.

Don't forget! Contract ratification vote this Thursday from 11am-5:30pm in the Law Cafe. Check our www.hastingsunited.org for the details on the agreement.

Public unions: What's the big deal? On Jan. 17, 1962, President Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988, bringing collective bargaining rights to most federal workers for the first time. Kennedy's order might be the least known of the string of significant events that made the 1960s such crucial years in American history.

Still excited about settling our contract!
