The first of a continuing series of meetings to find out what the members see as priorities for the next contract was held at Dorothea Dix on May 28. The first member from Dorothea Dix joined what I call the Contract Action Team.
Contract Action Team members are not asked to scream shout or jump up and down they are asked to talk to co workers that may not have time to get to a meeting and to bring back what they find to the coming negotiations team. No one should feel that they don't have a chance to have their ideas heard. C.A.T. members will probably be given a chance to be on the bargaining committee, the group that will advise the negotiations team about the members real priorities.
The Listen Up meetings will be held weekly in Bangor and soon they will be at more than one location. If anyone is interested in holding a meeting please contact NarsBars@UnionMaine.Org
If you are at Dorothea Dix you can talk to Anne Rogerson or Tom Maher.
This is going to be a very tough time and only with all of us working together can we protect what we have earned and make progress.
Ask about having a meeting at your work site. Ask a steward.
