FROM THE PRESIDENT, Rick Poulette

2012 will bring us continuing and new challenges. We will once more be facing union busting legislation in Tallahassee in the upcoming legislative session. We will be battling to hold on to our Union rights and benefits, such as unemployment Comp, Workers Comp and Retirement Benefits (FRS). We are also bargaining a new three-year contract for 2012 in Palm Beach County. We must work together, all of us. Your union cannot do it alone. We will be calling on each of you to help yourself and your families. As needed, we will be asking each of you to contact your legislators to help fight these bad anti-worker bills in Tallahassee. For Palm Beach County, we may be asking you to go to pickets, call your County Commissioners, write letters, send E Mail, wear buttons, stickers and pass out flyers. Be ready to fight in 2012. We are stronger together.
