May 1 marks May Day, or International Workers’ Day. Following on the heels of last month’s celebration of National Library Workers Day, your Union is proud to observe the day with treats that will soon arrive via totes from Preston. Thanks to all of you for your year-round hard work!
Moving? Don’t Forget Your Union!
Moving? After you’ve changed your address in Dayforce and Evergreen, let your Union know, too! All you have to do is email your new information to c2everett@council2.com and tell them that you’re in Local 1857!
Union Leave Bank Donation Window is Open!
It’s contract negotiation season! According to the terms of our contract, April is one of only two times each year that you are able to donate your vacation time to the Leave Bank. So its important to take advantage of the opportunity while its here!
The strength of Local 1857 lies not just with our collective voice, but also with our collective action. And one of the most meaningful actions you can take right now to support your union is with the Leave Bank — a vital resource in negotiating a fair contract.
During the month of April, we encourage all members to consider donating a portion of their vacation time. Even one hour is extraordinarily helpful and demonstrates that we are committed to both fair contract terms and to supporting one another.
Simply fill out the form at this link and send it in to:
President, Local 1857
PO Box 3056
Issaquah, WA 98027
It must be postmarked by April 30th, so don’t delay!
Your generosity is more than simply an act of kindness, it is an investment in our collective future. Together we bargain. Alone we beg.
Your participation is crucial, and thank you so much for considering engaging in this act of solidarity! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your steward or our union leadership for more information.
