We Reject Cuts to our Health Care

The proposed changes to the Public Employees Benefit Program puts state workers in a position to pay more out-of-pocket for our health care needs.

Changing our workplaces, on conversation at a time

“I’ve been talking to my co-workers, many who I don’t normally talk to throughout the workday, because if we want to see improvements in our workplace, we need a contract.

“I’ve gotten to know so many of my co-workers through our union, people I wouldn’t have otherwise talked to. It’s improved the environment of our workplace, which improves the services we provide. And I don’t feel so alone anymore when I feel like new policies or changes are unfair. It’s great to talk to other co-workers about things,” said Victoria.
