Join the PEOPLE team
If teamwork gets the job done, PEOPLE
Chair Esther Sandy Tucker hopes all DC 37 local presidents
will join the team. It would thrill her and DC 37s parent
union AFSCME to know the presidents are enrolled as an example
for union members to follow.
The very fabric of PEOPLEs existence is based on the number
of members who join, said Ms. Tucker, who is the president of City
University of New York and Educational Opportunity Centers Local 384.
The funds help working families have a stronger voice in politics
and policies.
PEOPLE Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality
is the political action committee of DC 37s national union,
AFSCME. PEOPLE lobbies Congress on behalf of public employees on important
issues such as Social Security, pay equity and privatization.
PEOPLE contributions help support politicians who respect and understand
the concerns of union members, regardless of party affiliation.
AFSCME President Gerald McEntee was guest speaker at PEOPLEs April
general membership meeting. He challenged DC 37 to regain its number one
status in raising PEOPLE dollars. While union dues cannot be used to support
political candidates, members can voluntarily contribute to the
PEOPLE program.
You can make a difference and join PEOPLE with a minimum contribution
of 50 cents per pay period. Or you can increase your PEOPLE contribution.
Contribute $2.00 or more per pay period and you will be enrolled in the
VIP Club. For a membership application call your locals PEOPLE coordinator
or DC 37 PEOPLE Coordinator Pascale Bernard at (212) 815-1550. PEOPLE
contributions are not tax deductible.
