Dual Status Civilian Employees.

Here is an update on the status of the negotiations impacting you.

The Union Negotiating team has been working diligently and we are really putting a lot of effort into this I&I to make sure you are treated fairly and you get the most possible. At the same time, AFGE Locals from around the country have united in the fight against Civilians being forced to wear Military Uniforms. AFGE National has finally joined in the battle and we have a collective law suit against AFRC in the works right now. Everyone knows that this situation is foolish and very costly to the tax payer as well. Not only that, in a time where cut backs are the norm, and saving money is imperative, this would be an extremely costly situation for the Gov't if the results pan out the way we want them to.

AFGE Local 1869 is in the process of putting together a Lunch and Learn for the Dual Status Civilian Employees of Charleston AFB, Please check back often for more up to date information on this subject.

I have recently sent an e-mail to all the Dual Status Civilian Employees at Charleston AFB SC. Some of you may not have received it for one reason or another, so I am going to post the heart of the message right here so  you have another avenue of attack available to you. I hope you send a message to your representatives, this is going to be the most powerful way for you to communicate your disinterest in the wearing of the military uniform while in civilian status. I have emphasized the words NOW and NEED several times below. They are important in this issue.

I NEED your attention for a minute, 

The issue of civilian dual status employees is most likely being presented or going to be presented to congress shortly. The laws may change. YOU NEED TO ACT NOW !!!.

You NEED to contact your Senators and your Congressmen NOW. If you contacted them before, do it again. Hand write them letters telling them about your displeasure with the fact that YOU as a civilian should not wear the Military Uniform while working as a civilian. Tell them why……You NEED to let them know why you should not wear the military uniform. If you don’t act on this, the law could be passed. You may NOT have a choice. Hand writing a letter to these people could possibly have more impact then a typed letter with a signature.

Here are the links with their contact information: Do It NOW, Don't Delay, time is short. 

Senators 

Congressmen 

I am trying to help you as much as I can, but you need to be involved as much as you can. After all this is your lives we are talking about and your working conditions. 

I hope you understand and will make the effort to help yourselves as much as we have been trying to help you from this office. This is no joke folks, get active NOW, TODAY, to stop this horrendous act. 

Thanks
