Is the City Trying to Scare Us?

Did Halloween come early this month?

Were you spooked by Michael Jordan’s message yesterday connecting our current bargaining and the city’s budget next year? Did you hear the ghostly whispered threat of layoffs? In this year of relentless, ongoing change and transition, don’t let these tricks scare you.

The three unions, CPPW and our partners at AFSCME and DCTU, bargaining now for fair contracts are absolutely not to blame for the city’s finances.

This kind of tactic is a classic employer move during bargaining – deflect! blame! scare!

CPPW is a voice of reason at the bargaining table – offering solutions, fixing messes, and advocating for our members! Our response to this targeted email: Keep doing the work, building solidarity, and fighting for what we deserve in our first contract.

Union members keep this city running! Stay Strong. Stay Unified. Stay Connected.
