MontCo Workers Demand County Honor Contracts
Friday, May 9, 2008
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Montgomery County workers plan to turn out in full force today at the County
Council meeting to vote on whether to recommend full funding of Montgomery
county union contracts, reports UFCW 1994 MCGEO. “Members of UFCW 1994, IAFF
1664, FOP 35, SEIU 500 and MCEA are in serious jeopardy of having their
contracts broken by a Council which would rather balance the budget on the backs
of county employees than tap emergency surplus reserves,” reports Local
1994’s Doug Menapace. “We are calling on our brothers and sisters to stand
with us as we attempt to influence the Council on this issue.” Meet today at
12:45P in the EOB cafeteria, 101 Monroe St, Rockville, MD. For more information,
contact Menapace at 301-977-2447 or email dmenapace@mcgeo.org
