Immediate Need

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We have a busy year ahead. Just a few things coming up this year are:
- Updating our Local bylaws
- National Caucus Delegate Election
- Election of Local Officers
- Contract Negotiations

The US Department of Labor requires that labor unions keep and maintain updated contact information for its membership. In compliance with this mandate, we have published update forms in each issue of our newsletter that members may fill out and return to the local office or give to any local official, and March 1st 2008 we completed a telephone campaign to reach each member.

Even if you believe your contact information on record is accurate, please contact any local official listed on Agency roster posted on the bulletin boards, or call the local office at extension 3188 and let us know. If you reach our voicemail, please leave your name, current home mailing address, telephone number, and email address. This will ensure our information is correct.

On your behalf, we are actively pursuing corrective action regarding abuses of the intermittent hiring authority, overtime, performance appraisals, merit system promotion issues, and others, in an effort to promote agency efficiency as well as fair and equal treatment of all employees. We invite you to inform us of any issues that are of concern to you and employees in your area. If we don't know about them, we can't help NPC's Jeffersonville employees resolve them. Together, we can build a strong, stable work environment we all can be proud of.

Thank you for your support.
