Remember, the SURS/Social Security presentations will be:
Monday, May 3rd,2010
3:30-5:30PM
E108
Come a few minutes early to have a snack and socialize (doors will open at 3:10pm). The presentations will start on time with SURS going first from 3:30-4:30 and Social Security following for another hour. Both of these presentations are aimed specifically at adjuncts so if you want to know more about SURS/SSA or are getting ready for retirement and want to know how GPO/WEP (Government Pension Offset/Windfall Elimination Provision) is going to effect you, please come even if you haven’t RSVP’d! There will be time for QA. These presentations are being sponsored by HCAFA and the Harper College Human Resources Department.

The HCAFA BBQ II will be on July 10 from 11-1 at the Plum Grove Reservoir which is the little park/lake area right across from Avante/J building. Like last year’s BBQ, we’ll have hot dogs, brats, burgers, and veggie burgers for the non-meat eaters. Bring the family! There will be games, conversation, and hopefully great weather like last year!

If you are in any meeting and are feeling like you are being threatened with disciplinary measures, termination, or sanctions of any kind, please invoke your Weingarten Rights! Weingarten says that you have a right to have a union representative present. Here is an example of Weingarten language:
WEINGARTEN RIGHTS
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my Association representative be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer any questions.
