Letter from President - Recent Events (January 13, 2017)

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

The NTU/NPS negotiations teams met yesterday. The next meeting will be scheduled soon. The NTU Negotiations Team advises the membership to continue to “support the Respect the Contract Initiatives Phases I & II, write your legislators and prepare for January 19th Day of Action.” At today’s Bldg.

If you want a script for your call, you can find it here too.

Please share!

Dear John,

As school and work takes a pause for most of
