Organize Your Own Worksite Picket

Post

The state responded with a counteroffer with a minimal difference, moving from 6% to 7%. We knew this wasn’t going to be easy but nothing worth fighting for comes easy. And so the fight continues!

Our informational picket lines are growing throughout the state. More and more members are stepping up and organizing pickets, or other actions, outside their worksites to make sure the state knows we haven’t given up.

Our goal is to organize 1,000 pickets by Local 1000 members across the state from now-Aug.14th!! Below are the steps to make sure your worksite is included!
