Greetings, We’ve taken our first furlough day and already the Governor has announced huge new deficits for next year. If this year’s furloughs and cut-backs are a threat to the quality of state services, just imagine what impact the new projected deficits will have. Isn’t it time we found new solutions to
the budget crisis that do not cut state employees and threaten
public services? Help Us
MPEC and AFT Healthcare-Maryland have developed an action plan to show the governor where he can achieve savings without hurting the services that Marylanders need now more than ever. Support our union’s plan for solving the budget crisis and preserving the quality services that state employees provide every day. Sign the State Employee Petition
for
Compensation http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/Petition Over 400 state employees have signed the union’s petition. We need your help to reach our goal of 3,000 signatures by December 1, 2009. Yes, the furlough days are a reality
this year, but shouldn’t you be compensated for this loss
of income when the economy
recovers? Do you agree that state employees should be compensated for these furlough days when state revenues improve? Hundreds of state employees say
“Yes!” Both MPEC and AFT-Healthcare Maryland are negotiating a proposal to compensate state employees, but we need your support. Now, more than ever, it is important that employees stand together and call on the governor to agree to fair compensation for our sacrifices. Join MPEC and AFT
Healthcare-Maryland’s effort to win compensation for the
furloughs and pay cuts by signing our
petition. Sign the
