DESCRIPTION:The Inter-Union Organizing Committee, R&F CAPS, Local 39 & other union 
 members will demand a decent contract on April 16, 2014 during negotiations 
 for those contracts with HR. The Governor has ordered a cost neutral budget 
 and intends to enforce it at the expense of state workers' living 
 conditions. He has already extracted a concessionary give back contract 
 from the largest unions representing state workers. \n\nBut the State 
 Scientists, the Operating Engineers and State Lawyers have held out for a 
 decent contract. Our demands are all based on long term pay parity 
 inequities due to which our compensation has fallen below our peers and the 
 prevailing wage. This has created problems of recruitment and retention for 
 the state, and insecurity, frustration and demoralization among the 
 workers. \n\nWe will rally to demand a decent contract, to rebuild our 
 unions' democracy and power, and to build our determination to create 
 solidarity with all workers, the community and others victimized by the 
 cutbacks. California only had 84 billionaires before the economic crisis of 
 2008-2015. Now after state workers “sharing the pain” there are 100 
 billionaires in CA. Today, the profits of the 1% are protected by the 
 politicians at our expense. \n\nMAKE THE BANKSTERS, THE BILLIONAIRES AND 
 THEIR CORPORATIONS PAY! NO CONTRACT NO WORK \n
