RT Task Force Focused Outreach is now complete!

The RT Task Force Focused Outreach Committee (TFFOC) has officially completed our task and have decided to refer the official voting to the Local’s Elections Committee.
The RT TFFOC wishes to thank everyone who has updated their contact information. Through your responses, we have brought further awareness regarding the hourly vs. salary information to the affected classifications. We have updated the attached documents, based on your previous feedback, and thus are including them again. If you know of anyone within the affected classification that did not receive this e-blast, it means we do not have their updated information and they may not have the opportunity to vote. Please have them contact the Burbank office via telephone (800) 698-6553 or via e-mail at info@afscmelocal2620.org to provide their updated contact information.
The intent of the RT TFFOC is to provide facts and information. The RT TFFOC wishes in no way to influence anyone’s decision in the upcoming vote. Stay tuned for the next e-blast from the Elections Committee, as it will have dates and timelines for the vote.
