PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

MITA MEMBERS:  PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FROM NYSUT'S POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE:

  • Wisconsin was just the beginning......   <<<<<    VIDEO
  •           Three weeks from Tuesday there will be an election that is going to impact on your future negotiations, district budgets and members’ jobs. If we lose elections, the impact will be serious and then there will be a lot of crying and handwringing about how we should have done something. We all saw this when the tax cap passed, and after the fact,  folks thought we should do something. 

    Now is the time to do something. No matter how much else is on you or your members’ plates, now is the chance to do something. Every little bit matters, every little bit helps.
    This week:
    Tim Bishop  <<<<<  VIDEO


    •  Saturday, October 20: Labor walk for Tim Bishop out of the MITA Office 47 Middle Country Rd. Middle Island 9 AM. We had a record (for us NYSUT folk) with 46 volunteers, from 10 different locals at the Montano walk this past Saturday. Let’s break that record!
  • Phone banks at the Hauppauge regional office 3 to 7 PM Monday through Thursday. On Tuesday retirees can start at 10AM. We’ve added 2 days in Hauppauge—10/29 and 10/30. If you haven’t committed to a day yet these are 2 additional days that you can help.   Phone bank in Middle Country TA office Wednesday 10/17 from 3:30 to 6:30 PM
