Greetings,
Join Fellow AFSCME Members and Kentucky State Employees at Union
Agreement Negotiations with the State on August 11th and 12th!
Join our fellow AFSCME members and state employees in Frankfort
as we begin union negotiations with the state on Tuesday, August
11 and Wednesday August 12 at 9 a.m. each day in the Capital
Annex, 702 Capitol Avenue, Room 111. We urge every state
employer to attend.
Corrections, Probation and Parole, Juvenile Justice and Law
Enforcement employees will meet August 11th to begin union
agreement negotiations. Health and Social Services employees
will begin their union agreement negotiations August 12th. If
you need transportation to attend negotiations please call
1-866-871-0646
AFSCME and our negotiating teams are proposing common sense
solutions to many problems within state government, including a
whistleblower protection to ensure that state employees can
speak up against wasted or misused resources. Seniority rights,
a requirement for notice if work rules are changed, a new
employee orientation program and a job bidding process will also
be addressed.
Negotiators are focused on staffing issues, safety and health
issues and better employee training and development to reduce
turnover and bring a stronger commitment to us as state
employees.
These negotiations will affect all state employees in
Corrections, Probabation and Parole, Juvenile Justice and other
Law Enforcement as well as those in Health and Social Services.
But only state employees who join AFSCME can vote to ratify a
negotiated union agreement.
If you want to be take part and get involved, join AFSCME today!
Send an email to info@afscmekentucky.org or call 1-866-871-0646
for more information.
Remember, its our voice, our jobs and our union. A better
tomorrow starts today!
