Nominations for Local officers at January meeting

Hi all,

Please read this email to the end! We have an urgent job action taking place on Wednesday at the Oxnard Elementary School District and we need maximum union support for our brothers and sisters in need.

Last year, Assemblyman Tony Thurmond sponsored and passed a piece of legislation (AB 2160) that requires school districts to recognize part-time playground assistants (campus assistants) as permanent classified employees and therefore providing them with benefits and collective bargaining. This law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2019.

In response to this legislation, the Oxnard Elementary School District decided to terminate the employment of all 150+ individuals holding these positions on December 15th with the promise they'll be rehired in January (without the new benefits that they're entitled to).

PLEASE join us in support of these workers this Wednesday, December 10th at 6:45pm (meeting starts at 7pm). We cannot allow this to happen to workers in our community and we most definitely cannot allow these workers to be fired 10 days before Christmas. We must demand that the Oxnard Elementary School District's administration follows the law and respects the work that their employees do. If you have relationships with any of the trustees (Debra Cordes, Ernest Morrison, Veronica Robles-Solis or Monica Madrigal-Lopez...Denis O'Leary has already confirmed that he opposes this action) in the district please reach out before Wednesday. If you have any questions, please feel free to be in touch.

The PMG just announced that the USPS will participate in the day of mourning per 519.4 of the ELM



Management just released the following statement : President Donald J. Trump has proclaimed Dec. 5 as a national day of mourning throughout the United States and has called on the American people to pay homage to memory of former President George H.W. Bush on that day.

Out of respect for President Bush, the nation’s 41st commander in chief, and to honor his vast contributions to the United States during his lifetime, and consistent with the presidential proclamation, the Postal Service will observe the national day of mourning.

The Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery and retail service Dec. 5. USPS will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that the Postal Service network remains fluid and USPS does not experience any impacts to its package delivery operations that might negatively affect customers or business partners during the remainder of the busy holiday season.

All Postal Service facilities — including headquarters in Washington, DC, and area and district administrative offices — are included in the national day of mourning. Local managers will advise employees on staffing levels to maintain operations and prepare for the resumption of regular activities Thursday, Dec. 6.

Pay and leave administration for the national day of observance for affected bargaining unit employees is governed by section 519.4 of the ELM 519.4 provisions of May 4, 2000, memorandums of agreement between the Postal Service and the APWU
