4. New Business: Hesse-Janus Vs AFSCME Case is being heard in Supreme Court on January 23rd.
February 20th legislative session will begin. If they reject our new contract we are stuck with our old one. They think we are getting paid too much as they are asking for a 45 percent raise for themselves.
A very good chance this will pass. We need to continue to support the union to keep our power.
New website will be launching soon that is a big improvement from the last one.
