Tired of low pay and unmanageable workloads?
TSEU Human Services members decided to carry out a massive Fall Organizing Blitz in all HHSC and DADS offices in every region of Texas. The goal is to grow union power and increase TSEU visibility by signing up new members and getting more current members active. Eligibility workers in HHSC are facing increasing turnover rates as workloads climb and our pay stagnates. And in DADS, state employees and the services we provide are under threat from privatization.
The Fall Blitz is a way to build momentum in our fight for an across-the-board raise, increased staffing levels, and an end to privatization while legislators are in their home districts. We will be conducting organizing events, legislative meetings, and visibility actions all throughout the Fall of 2015. An October list of events is provided below, and November is coming soon. Help push back against injustice in the work place. Get involved in the 2015 Fall Blitz! For additional information or to plan an event out at your workplace please contact your local TSEU office.
Sign the postcard! Take a group photo! Send a message to lawmakers and our non-union co-workers: we need a REAL pay raise!
Locate your office below AND/OR contact your local TSEU office to see how you can get involved in an event at YOUR office or work location.
