Dear Members,

Join us this Thursday at 12:15PM!

Time is running out to fund our raises before the New Year. We’ve been told that if the Massachusetts Legislature can’t fund state worker raises by the first week of December, that it will likely be too late for us to see our raises and retro pay before the holidays.

That means we must turn up the heat ASAP. Join your union siblings outside the Chancellor’s Office this Thursday, November 30^th for 8 minutes of action.

Dear Members, 

Raises: Thank You for Your Actions.

Thank you to all who emailed or called your representative and/or senator.  

I cannot remember when the state legislature did not pass a supplemental budget, especially one that contained employee raises.  I am frustrated and I know you are.   We need to tell them how we feel.

Dear Members,

We are shocked and disgusted that the state legislature has failed to pass the supplemental budget that would pay our raises. Meet us at the State House on Monday November 20^th to rally for ourselves and for our fellow state employees.

Monday November 20, 11 am: Attend the Legislature’s informal session

Monday November 20, 12 noon: Rally and press conference outside the State House

Dear Members,

Today is the day to tell our legislators to fund our raises. 

Both the House and Senate will be in session tonight where we and all state employee unions hope the differences in the supplemental budget bills will be resolved.  Being resolved means our contract will be funded now and not in January.
