Support affordable healthcare!

We demand that CSEA and its affiliates retract their illegally imposed healthcare cuts and return to the bargaining table!

Why is this important?

I'm a member of United Auto Workers Local 2350. I work for state employees in California. Every day I fight to maintain or improve state employees' benefits, but my own healthcare has been secretly and illegally cut.

Two months ago Management circumvented our union and illegally imposed vicious cuts that as of Jan. 1, 2013, will drastically cut healthcare benefits for current employees and future retirees, and eliminate retiree healthcare for all new hires.

The healthcare cuts unfairly impact lower income workers and those with families.

We need you to stand with working class families and tell the California State Employees Association (CSEA) and its affiliates - the Association of California State Supervisors (ACSS), California State Retirees (CSR), and California State University Employees Union (CSUEU) - to retract their illegally imposed healthcare attacks and return to the bargaining table!
