Dear AFT Local 2000 Members,
The election committee has informed us that according to federal law, union elections ballots must be mailed to members and ballots must be mailed back to the union through the US Postal Service. This means that after the ballots are mailed out, in about 3 weeks, you will not be able to pick up a ballot if you do not receive one. You will have to contact the election committee to request a ballot to be mailed.
Therefore it is very important to make sure that AFT 2000 has the correct addresses for everyone. If you have any concerns about this, please e-mail me at jwittbr1@wcccd.edu with your current address and any other contact information you wish the union office to have.
Anyone who paid union dues in Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 is currently eligible to vote. Anyone not working or paying dues in in Fall 2016 and also not working or paying dues in Spring 2017, but who did pay dues in any semester from Spring 2014 forward, is eligible to pay a fee to become an "Adjunct Member" and then would be eligible to vote. Please contact the union office to make arrangements.
In Solidarity,
Joanne Wittbrodt
President, AFT 2000
