A&R Habitat for Humanity Build:  A&R will be sponsoring a "build" on Friday 10/9/15 in New Britain.  Details

OPM Seeks RFP for Negotiations: The State has released an RFP seeking to hire private firms to "assist" in negotiating the labor contracts (this is getting fun now!)

Rowland Layoff Settlement: within the past week, employees impacted by the layoffs of 2002/03 should have received a "packet" from the lawfirm of Silver, Golub, Teitell.  The packet contained an explanation and Q&A about the agreement and also included an "Opt-Out" form.  Please DO NOT sign and return the Opt-Out form unless you DO NOT want to receive an award from this agreement.  It is expected that very few people will sign and submit this form.

Pat Carolan Honored:  Former A&R President (1989 - 1991) was honored by the White House and named a "Champion of Change" for his work on climate change.

The election clock is ticking down.  Many primary elections for municipal candidates are held in September.  Winners in the primary elections will go on to run in the November 3rd, 2015 Municipal Elections.  Are you interested in running for a municipal office in your town?  Maybe you know of another Union member thinking about running for office?  If this is the case, please call the A&R Union office at 860-953-1316, and be put in touch with the A&R COPE PAC Committee.  COPE PAC is the Committee On Political Education Political Action Committee for our union.

The United Labor Agency's (ULA) funding is being cut by the United Way of Central & Northeastern Connecticut.

ULA is the organization to which A&R members donate toys and food at our annual Holiday Party which benefits A&R members who require such assistance.  A&R has built a strong relationship with the ULA and is proud of its efforts to support working families.
