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.

We Need to Talk - Eau Claire Community Forum

Dear Brothers and Sisters;

As all communities across the country struggle with their budgets, public sector workers seem to be receiving undue criticism of their wages and benefits and citizens appear to be losing sight of the very services that are delievered on a daily basis by public sector workers. "The Alliance for Strong Communities" supported by AFSCME will be holding a community forum in the Eau Claire area next week. We urge all of you to take the time to participate in this community discussion and hopefully arrive at a solution for where the Eau Claire community goes next. Bring your family, neighbors and friends to this very important community forum.

Join us to discuss where we go next:

Unemployed Workers Get Help

For Immediate Release
Contact: Sara Wallenfang, 414-418-5485

Statement by Wisconsin State AFL-CIO President David Newby:
Long-term Unemployed Workers Finally Get a Lifeline

(Milwaukee – July 22, 2010) Finally, the House and Senate have extended Unemployment Insurance benefits to workers who have been without a job for more than six months.

As outrageous as it may seem, Senate Republicans engaged in a filibuster to stop a vote on this bill; they are responsible for over two million unemployed workers being denied jobless benefits. These same Republican Senators have no problem with extending tax cuts to the very richest Americans, but somehow they don’t understand or don’t care about the basic needs that ordinary people have. Even with the extension, ordinary people are struggling to pay the rent or mortgage, buy food for their families, and pay for other necessities of life.

The Republican defense—that extending benefits to the unemployed will increase the deficit—is total nonsense. Unemployed workers who receive benefits spend every dime on essentials—which puts more money into the economy and helps businesses stay afloat without more layoffs. The immediate deficit we need to pay attention to is the deficit in family-supporting jobs. Once we get people back to work, they will pay taxes again and much of the current deficit can be eliminated.

Fall Elections are Critical

2010 Fall Elections will Determine the Future of Public Services in Wisconsin

July 13th marked the filing deadline to officially declare candidacy in Wisconsin for a wide range of offices from Governor to Congress to the State Legislature among others. In order to make their campaign official, candidates had to turn their nomination signatures in to have their names placed on the fall primary and general election ballots. While much of the focus of media coverage across the state will be on the hotly contested races for Governor, in which AFSCME has endorsed Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, and US Senate, AFSCME is now fully engaged in the process of reviewing the various candidates for legislative offices.

Senate and Assembly Up For Grabs

Wisconsin State Senators serve four year terms, and the elections are staggered so only half of the body is up for relection at a time. This means 17 of the 33 seats are up for re-election in November of 2010. In two of those seats the incumbent is retiring (Sen. Alan Lasee, R-DePere and Sen. Judy Robson, D-Beloit). There are expected to be at least a half a dozen highly competitive races for State Senate this fall, and with the Democrats currently holding a three seat advantage, control of the house is very much at stake.

Wisconsin State Representatives all serve two year terms, making each of the seats up for election this fall. So far, 18 members of the 99-member state Assembly are leaving for retirement or to seek other opportunities. The past two years the Democrats controlled this chamber with a five vote pro-labor majority. As a result, AFSCME saw many initiatives get passed and signed into law that never saw the light of day during the decade and a half Republican control.

AFSCME Screening and Endorsements

Questionnaires have been sent to the hundreds of candidates running for the state Assembly and Senate. The questionnaire asks candidates their positions on a wide range of issues, including collective bargaining rights for public employees, to pensions, to contracting out of public services to tax fairness. Based on the returned questionnaires along with candidate interviews by AFSCME members around the state, the State Employees Political Action Committee will make endorsements in many districts across the state based on recommendations from affiliated local unions. Come late summer and fall, we will provide information to AFSCME Council 24 and 48 members throughout Wisconsin on the endorsed candidates.

Election day this year is November 2nd, with primaries being conducted on September 14th. This will leave a short time frame for us to educate ourselves about the candidates running for legislative offices and their positions on issues that matter to AFSCME members and the public services we provide. With a looming $2.5 billion budget shortfall, much is on the line. Please get involved in spreading the word on pro-worker candidates to your AFSCME brothers and sisters, family and friends this fall.

AFSCME Wisconsin "Next Wave"

Local Presidents have received information about “Next Wave”, which is the national union’s educational and informational platform for members aged 35 and under, and this September Wisconsin AFSCME is sponsoring the first Next Wave Conference. The registration deadline is fast approaching. Local Presidents are asked to consider sending younger member(s) to this innovative and ground breaking conference. Members under the age of 35 are the future of our union, and we all benefit by enhancing their AFSCME education and involvement, and strengthening their connection and investment in the union. The Council executive board has approved a grant to locals sending participants to help offset costs. If you have misplaced the registration forms, they are available on our website (wseu-24.org). Or, give us a call at the Council and we’ll forward them to you.

“Americans Will Remember Who Is Responsible for Lost Jobs and Services”

For IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, June 18, 2010

Statement of AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee in response to the U.S. Senate’s cloture vote last night on the jobs bill

Washington, DC — “Unless last night’s shortsighted vote is reversed in the coming days, the Senate’s failure to break a Republican filibuster on the jobs bill will put hundreds of thousands of additional Americans out of work. Senators are wrapping a hangman’s noose around state and local governments trying to cope with increasing demand for vital public services during dire economic times. This country’s fragile economy cannot grow if elected officials in Washington refuse to take the action needed to put our country back to work. We intend to make sure that the American people understand what this reckless failure to act will cost in terms of our recovery. Americans will remember who is responsible for lost jobs and services – the Senators who blocked action during an unprecedented fiscal crisis.”

AFSCME’s 1.6 million members provide the vital services that make America happen. With members in hundreds of different occupations – from nurses to corrections officers, child care providers to sanitation workers – AFSCME advocates for fairness in the workplace, excellence in public services and prosperity and opportunity for all working families.

Political Buffoonery

As you know by now, gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker has issued a series of press releases beginning last Saturday through today regarding state employees’ salary and benefits. At this rate, by Sunday Scott Walker’s position will be that all state employees should receive similar salary and benefits to those people working at McDonalds and Burger King. The whole mentality of cutting public employees’ salary and benefits to give tax breaks to corporations in Wisconsin is becoming very annoying.

Back when Walker was in the legislature and participating in the Wisconsin Retirement Fund, he didn’t pay a dime for his contributions and probably didn’t care about them. But now, when we have the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, Vicki McKenna, Jeff Walker and all the other right wing vermin pimping for him, this becomes a major piece of his campaign.

State employees, and all public employees, need to read, listen and understand exactly what Mr. Walker is saying about our future, our jobs, and the people we serve.

Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas Calls for Ethan Allen School to Remain Open

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: June 18, 2010
Contact: Ellen Nowak – Chief-of-Staff, (262) 548-7902

WAUKESHA, Wis. – In anticipation of a potential recommendation regarding the future of Ethan Allen School, located in the Village of Wales, by the Governor’s Juvenile Corrections Review Committee, Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas is calling for Governor Jim Doyle to ensure the facility remain a youth corrections facility.

Due to a Juvenile Corrections’ budget deficit projected at $25 million, Doyle has created a task force to examine ways to respond to this deficit. Currently, the task force is deliberating the possibility of closing Ethan Allen School. This recommendation may be made despite a significant impact the closing would have on the juveniles sent to the facility and the economic and employment implications it would have on Waukesha County.

As of 2009, 73% of youth referred to Ethan Allen and Lincoln Hills, located in Irma, Wisconsin, the other juvenile detention facility in the state, came from 6 counties in central or southeastern Wisconsin – Dane, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock and Waukesha Counties. These 6 counties are at least 2.5 hours away from Lincoln Hills. Research has proven that the role of parents and family members in the rehabilitation and re-socialization of incarcerated youth can
play a vital and long-lasting role in the treatment of at-risk youth. If all juveniles are incarcerated at Lincoln Hills, they would be further isolated from their families and family involvement in treatment would be more difficult.

“The priority of the state must be to protect the residents of our communities and provide housing, punishment and rehabilitation to juveniles in the best and most efficient way possible,” Vrakas said. “If Ethan Allan School is closed, we would not be efficiently providing the service that is needed.”

In addition to the impacts closing the school would have on service delivery to juvenile delinquents, closing Ethan Allen School would have a direct impact on the local economy and employment in Waukesha County.

Vrakas said he has been contacted by numerous concerned constituents urging the state keep the school a juvenile facility.

“I share the concerns of my constituents,” he said. “I urge the Committee to keep Ethan Allen School a juvenile corrections facility.”

FMAP Funding Looking Very Bleak

From: Charles Loveless
Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 1:59 PM
To: AFSCME Leadership
Cc: Executive Staff Assistants
Subject: Update on State Fiscal Aid
Importance: High

Sisters and Brothers –

Last night the U.S. Senate again failed to break a Republican filibuster of the jobs bill. Senators Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) joined all Republicans in supporting the filibuster.

Senate leadership is huddling this afternoon to determine whether there is a path forward for the bill, which, as you know, includes FMAP, an unemployment insurance extension and aid for doctors who accept Medicare.

SEPAC Note: More information will be forthcoming early next week.
