“State Workers United for a Better Delaware” calls for a Legislative Commitment Rally this Thursday, June 11 on Legislative Mall
Media Advisory
What: Commitment Rally for state employees and legislators
Where: Legislative Mall, Dover
When: July 11, 4pm gathering; 6pm speeches and signing of No Salary
Cut Commitment Pledge by legislators
WHY: To recognize those legislators who stand with us in their desire to find $91.7 million in order to eliminate the 8% salary cut proposed by Governor Markell for all of Delaware’s 32,000 state workers.
To once again show our solidarity for a fair and responsible solution to the recession that will promote long-term economic growth, not harm it by taking $91 million out of the economy and devastating 32,000 state workers and their families with salary cuts of 8-10%, even more.
As the General Assembly’s budget-writing Joint Finance Committee continues to develop the state’s 09-10 budget, “…We invite them and their legislative colleagues to stand up and be counted, to find funding solutions that are fair and responsible, solutions that will grow our economy, not shrink it,” says Coalition Chair, Sgt. Vincent Fiscella, president of the Delaware State Troopers Association.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I strongly urge every union activist in Delaware and surrounding communities to attend. If this pay cut for workers approach wins the day in Delaware, we can expect the same approach to be used in other states!
