Social Security Up for Election?
MORE THAN 53 MILLION AMERICANS DEPEND ON SOCIAL SECURITY TODAY
Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law in 1934, millions of American workers have earned benefits by paying into the system, creating a safety net that keeps retirees, survivors of workers who die young and people with disabilities and their families out of poverty.
This November, voters will decide the future of Social Security by the representatives they select. We need to get direct, truthful answers from the candidates on exactly where they stand on this important issue. SEPAC has in some cases and is currently reviewing the positions of and endorsed those candidates who support our issues.
Now it's up to you. In no other state is there as much at stake this year: Senator Feingold's Senate seat; two, possibly three Congressional races, the Governor's race and both houses of the WI legislature. Now, more than ever, we need to be one train, on one track going in one direction.
Please click on this link for the list of Member-to-Member Walks statewide for the rest of September. Phone Banks are also up and running and a list of those locations around the state is attached as well.
We need your help. Even if you are not an active or retiree union member, please join us in these election activities. Your help can make a vital difference.

Legislative Audit -Department of Commerce Health and Safety Enforcement for Public Sector workers
Last week AFSCME Council 24 received confirmation on our request to have the Legislative Audit Committee look at how the Department of Commerce enforces Safety Standards and whether there are political implications in their process.
This audit is possible because of the men and women at UW Stout who have had exposures and have been met with denial on the part of the U.W.Systems. In fact we even have copies of letters inferring the Chancellor’s intrusion into the enforcement process. We had a discussion with Senator Kathleen Vinehout about the issue and she was instrumental in carrying the day for us.
I have cut and pasted the information about this that appeared in last week’s summary. It makes good material for letter writing and other communications.This audit and participation in it is critical. This is our OSHA. We have no other health and safety protections aside from those enforced by Commerce. We need each of our locals to take a look at any experiences that they have had with Commerce and the enforcement of these standards or lack of enforcement. This is a rare opportunity to make things right. Please contact your Field Representative with any information. If you happen to encounter either Senator Vinehout or Representative Barca please thank them for being there for us.

Auditors to Investigate State’s Record of Ensuring Health and Safety Standards for Public Sector Workers
State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout (D-Alma) and State Rep. Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) announced last week that they have directed the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau to review the Wisconsin Department of Commerce’s record of ensuring (more) the safety of public sector employees while they are on the job. Vinehout and Barca serve as co-chairs of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and have powers to order audits of state agency practices and law enforcement efforts.
The legislators asked the Legislative Audit Bureau to:
+ assess the scope of the Department’s responsibility for ensuring public sector employee safety in the workplace;
+ review staffing and expenditures;
+ analyze the number of inspections conducted and consultative services provided annually; and
+ determine the volume and disposition of any formal complaints received by the Department of Commerce.
The audit review was prompted by a situation in which union officers complained about shoddy conditions involving asbestos removal projects on the UW-Stout campus. The complaint resulted in a Department of Commerce report citing the university for 51 occupational safety and health violations. The university pushed the Department to rescind the report, which the agency did on Nov. 5, 2009.
AFSCME Council 24 strongly protested the Department’s decision, and contacted Sen. Vinehout and Rep. Barca to have the Legislative Audit Bureau investigate and report on the Department of Commerce’s record of enforcing public sector worker health and safety. This is a big victory for all public sector workers. AFSCME appreciates the leadership shown by Sen. Vinehout and Rep. Barca and looks forward to reviewing the findings of the Audit Bureau.

State Employees Come Through for Appleton Food Pantry
State Employees Union Comes to Town,
Presents $7,000 Donation Plus Food to Local Food Program
When members of the Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, came together for their 78th Annual Convention in Appleton, they brought $7,000 and hundreds of pounds of food for an area food program.
The union collected non-perishable food items and cash donations for the St. Joseph Food Program, which serves 1,000 families a week throughout Winnebago, Outagamie, Waushara and Calumet counties. Not only did members attending the convention bring donations, the union matched cash donations made by its 22,000 members across the state.
"We work on the front lines of public service. We understand the stress this economy has placed on families and we want to help out. Council leaders have been impressed, but not surprised, by the response we've gotten from our members. Clearly, they get it," said Council 24 President Bob McLinn.
The food program donation was a new feature at a Council 24 convention. But it will not be the last time the Council builds a community service project into its annual gathering. The first resolution approved by delegates at this convention committed the Council to including a community service project in the agenda for all future conventions.
"Our members make Wisconsin happen every day on the job, so it is only natural that they would want to make things happen for any community that is hosting them," McLinn said.
This year's convention drew nearly 200 delegates and more than 50 guests to Appleton's Paper Valley Hotel.
