As some of you may already know, we have received a report that a representative from the Governor’s office is calling local presidents DIRECTLY. These calls seem to be random. We are recommending the following response for you to say should you receive a call:
1. Thank you for your call.
2. Please tell the governor he may be surprised to know that my members
already pay towards their health coverage.
3. Even if we agree to freeze wages he has cut so much that layoffs are
unavoidable.
4. We have great schools here. I represent really terrific people and he has
demonized them beyond repair.
5. My local will consider your request very carefully.
We are sending this information quickly and have not had time to confirm the identity of the caller.
If you receive one of these phone calls, it would be helpful if you would kindly contact the UniServ office to let us know. This may help in identifying any pattern or assist us in identifying the caller.
As always, thank you so much for all that you do on behalf of your members.
