Hey Lynn,
You've got to be crazy if you want our union to spend a few million dollars on multiple parties just to accommodate ALL members. I'm sure you didn't consider the money we'd need to fight contract fights, to continue administrative functions, to pay for your special t-shirts and to organize rallies. Sure, parties are great for members to come together but to spend my hard earned money on a party that ISN'T going to result in better wages or benefits is absolutely ludicrous.
Holiday Celebration RSVP'S, My question is how many holiday committee members are allowed to attend these events before the paying union dues members are informed of this event. We, i have been paying union dues for twenty-four years and i'm quite sure there is another way each paying member to be included into the holiday festivies or other events that i'm quite sure a portion of our dues are a contributing factor. I understand the the holiday flyer said first come first serve basis, but when the event is for paying memebers, everyone should be included, if they want to attend or not. When we request t-shirts or invited to attend rallies everyone is invited and encouraged to attend as well as transportation being provided. I'm quite sure a portion of our dues are a contributing factor as well. So in the near future my a suggest an event that everyone can attend, even if it held for multiple days.
Hello Brothers & Sisters,
We have lots of good stewards fighting for our members rights, but unfortunately we also have a few BAD apples. What can I do if the Steward in our worksite is using her position for her benefit, and is not acting with integrity and honesty? being a small facility away from our main union activities allows management to play more games, and manipulate and brake our MOU, specially when we have poor representation. Steward must follow our law which is the MOU and not manipulate what is written. I know how to by pass this individual and gotten wonderful assistance thru other stewards that do have integrity and honesty and fight for what's right! however my concern is what about those individuals that do not know their rights or who to contact in a time of need.
@Darlene: As an SEIU member, you can get a discount for a Dell computer. Check out the details here: http://www.unionplus.org/computers/dell-discount
As for automatic payroll deductions, you'll have to discuss that with Union Plus.
I understand that the union has a program where a county employee can get a Dell computer & have payments deducted via payroll deduction. can I get more info please?
Would it be possible to perhaps have divided sections of this site for that that apply to City of Los Angeles workers and LA County workers. There's some confusion as to what applies to us vs. county workers including labor codes and it would eliminate some of the confusion perhaps if the resources provided could be separated so if we needed to reference, just click on a tab or what have you and there's the info applicable to the appropriate party when needed.
