MNA
Joins Overtime Pay National Action Plan
President
Bush's overtime pay take-away could go into effect any day now. That would
be an awful holiday gift for workers in Massachusetts and everywhere.
The U.S. House of
Representatives failed to block the Bush overtime pay take-away last week.
The Senate has scheduled a vote for Jan. 20 on the measure. Our mission
between now and then is to reach out to as many people as possible--especially
in Massachusetts--and ask them to get involved in the campaign to protect
overtime pay.
The first
thing people can do to get involved in the campaign to protect overtime
pay is to sign the overtime petition by clicking on the link below. http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/ndaTrC51ddcg/
During the Overtime
Pay National Week of Action, more than 180,000 people signed the petition
opposing President Bush's overtime pay take-away. That is fantastic! So,
we're keeping the petition up and going.
Your efforts to engage
your friends, family and co-workers in Massachusetts on this issue is
really important. Workers in Massachusetts have been hit hard already
by job loss, unemployment and other economic punches. The overtime pay
take-away would be another blow for Massachusetts workers and their families.
Over the next five
weeks we'll send you e-mails about different ways you can make a difference
in the fight to protect overtime pay. We'll ask you to write letters,
send faxes, make phone calls and more. So, if you're able to recruit more
people in Massachusetts to join the campaign, than more people will have
a chance to make a difference. Together, we can make a huge impact.
Starting today, you
can do the following two things:
1. Ask your friends,
family and co-workers in Massachusetts to sign the online petition to
protect overtime pay. If you haven't signed yet, please do so now. Just
click below to get started: http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/ndaTrC51ddcg/
2. Download a printable
petition and circulate it for signatures among your friends, family and
co-workers. You can download the petition and get instructions for circulating
the petition by clicking on the link below. http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/n7aTrC51ddcb/
