2013 Action Agenda

JANUARY 2013 (v2/1/13) WASHINGTON FEDERATION OF STATE EMPLOYEES AFSCME COUNCIL 28 AFL-CIO

Public Disclosure

MEMORANDUM REGARDING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS


FROM: Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raised concerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This session is no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the following statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters: At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the Public Disclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee to report contact with legislators. A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her own legislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a constituent and/or citizen is not obligated to report that contact. The only obligation an employee has to report contact with individual legislators may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an official matter where the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employing agency and on official agency matters, or where a legislator contacts an employee under the same circumstances. Where an employee has contact with legislators under these circumstances the employee should check with his/her supervisor on any reporting requirements. It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employed by the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators or other legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/ her concerns, comments or opinions on legislative matters. We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on your own time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be from your personal phone. E-mails should be from home computers. I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional information, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-562-6002.

TALKING POINTS

2013 is the year to restore a fair helping of decency to middle class public servants whove saved the state
Two years ago, we were in the worst economic crisis in 70 years: State workers took 3% pay cuts and furloughs. That was on top of 5% cuts taken by a third of state workers starting in the middle of 2010. No cost-of-living adjustments since 2008. State workers health premiums rose by 25%. Out-of-pocket costs rose 100% - yet the state cut its share of contributions. The list goes on and on. But in the past two years, state employees gave back more than Politicians attacked our pensions. In the $1.5 billion to save the state and taken on past two years, state employees paid near- more workload as the workforce declined. ly 18% more for pensions. Thats on top of Public servants became Middle Class Hethe $300 million in pension funds diverted roes when they sacrificed: in 2009. Sacrificed to save public safety. In 2012, a coalition of senators attempted Sacrificed to safeguard the dignity of to end PERS 2, cut earlier retirement and vulnerable citizens in our care. make other pension cuts. In the end, they cut early retirement for new state workers Sacrificed to help students succeed. hired after May 1, 2013. But that coalition Sacrificed to stand up for abused and nenow has full control of the Senate includglected children. ing the committees that decide our pensions. Sacrificed for our states future. Attacks on pensions continue yet public And now its time for the Legislature to employees retire with an average annual recognize these heroic sacrifices that saved pension just under $20,000. our state: Vital funding for programs was reduced.

MIDDLE CLASS VALUES


Hold the line on health care. Let negotiations on the new health care agreement proceed with the new administration. Make no unilateral changes to the current contractual agreement where the state pays 85% of premium share and employees pay 15%. Make adequate increases in overall state contribution to benefits, which was cut last year to $800 per employee per month. Fund the new M Step in our negotiated contracts that will bring a 2.5% pay boost to most members on July 1, 2013. Fund the extension of the personal leave day (in our negotiated General Government contract) to institutions workers, who previously didnt qualify. Block attacks on pensions. Dont increase pension contribution rates beyond those recommended by the Pension Funding Council a modest increase in PERS 2 from 4.64% to 4.92% and no increases in the Public Safety Employees Retirement System (PSERS). Support further study started by the Select Committee on Pension Policy that should lead to adding highrisk job classes to PSERS. It wont be easy. Big Business is already lining up against our modest requests for Middle Class values so they can hold onto their billions in tax giveaways. Of the nearly $100 billion in tax breaks given out every year, corporations guard about $14 billion of those that could be fairly closed. In recent years, the state gave away $3 billion more with 150 new tax loopholes. Last year, we identified 27 cuts that could save the state $2.3 billion alone. Instead of sharing the sacrifice of state workers and taxpayers, corporations rally around pro-business think tanks and politicians who want to attack your modest requests as a cover against attacks on tax breaks. Take this recent editorial from the Vancouver Columbian: How, then, could there be a deficit, you ask? Because spending will also be increasing, partly in new caseloads, but also in other areas. And its not hard to identify one major area of cost increases: compensation and benefits for workers.... Remember, none of those gains can be typically expected by workers in the private sector. So were back to the same old problem: about $770 million in compensation-related new costs, backed up against a $900 million deficit. And that is why getting tough in negotiations with state-worker unions is so important. Its the most logical way to balance the state budget.

Lets get to work and fight for Middle Class values that saved the state!

MIDDLE CLASS HEROES SAFEGUARD DIGNITY FOR VULNERABLE CITIZENS t


Brad Samples is a state worker who keeps disabled citizens safe, sound and productive members of society. I didnt get into this work to get rich. I got into it to make a difference. But I get angry when the selfish and privileged few attack honest, hard-working middle class state workers. We provide vital services. Yet the state protects big oil companies like BP with generous tax giveaways.1 Ive made tremendous sacrifices economically. Yet in recent years, the state could still afford to give away more than $3 billion when they created more than 150 new tax loopholes.2

STANDING UP FOR ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN t


Joyce Murphy is a state worker who protects vulnerable children from abuse and neglect. She sees things most of us could never imagine. Weve sacrificed our fair share and taken on additional workload when the state cut 10,000 positions.3 I want to leave behind a better world for the at-risk children Ive dedicated my life to. But cuts to vital services and attacks on state workers have harmed the entire states middle class and cost the loss of 45,000 jobs in our economy.4

MIDDLE CLASS HEROES HELPING STUDENTS SUCCEED t


Kelly Grayson is a state worker who helps college students get the services they need to succeed in school. Our pay has taken many hits over the last four years. A lot of people dont know that. Our health insurance costs and pensions costs have gone up while our pay has gone down.5 We provide vital services every day. Those vital services fuel economic growth.6 The public needs to know we make a difference. Lets stop the attacks on middle class state workers.

SACRIFICING FOR OUR FUTURE t


Wendy Irish is a state worker providing services at one of our quality state colleges. Tuition for students our kids is going up 12 percent. State workers have taken a 3 percent cut in pay alone. Yet at our college, the president is getting a 12 percent pay hike and other administrators and managers are getting $3,000 in raises.7 The rest of us are falling behind. Eightytwo percent of state workers make less than market rate. So were not getting rich.8 Weve saved the state with our sacrifices. Its time to invest in our contracts. Its an investment in our states future.

MEMBER LOBBYING

Effective member lobbying starts with understanding how legislators work and think.
Legislators face unique pressures 1. Legislators simply do not have enough time to do everything they would like to do. 2. Legislators deal with thousands of bills; they cast votes on hundreds of bills; and they cant possibly know the details of each one. Legislators want to be helpful - its their nature Legislators want to serve their constituents, but there is a limit to what they can do. As member lobbyists we can help them by: Providing a specific and realistic request.

3. There are more than 1,000 registered lobbyists, Heeding their advice on ways that will to promote our issues. and countless more citizen lobbyists - all vying for a Legislators time, attention and vote. Following up with them and keeping them in the loop. 4. Legislators are accountable to thousands of constituents back home. Legislators are forced to prioritize and specialize

You can expect legislators to: Listen. Offer advice. Be candid. Provide insight.

1. Legislators only have time to really dig into a few issues, so they tend to specialize.

2. On their issues they hope their colleagues will follow their lead and, in turn, they follow the lead of members they trust that specialize in other issues.

Keep you posted, if you ask.

3. Its hard for a legislator to go against the specialist from his or her own caucus. Legislators face demands from their leadership You cant expect legislators to: Communicate all the time. Remember all the details. Make you their highest priority.

1. The leadership of the majority caucus controls the calendar and agenda. 2. Individual legislators cant overcome leadership decisions.

Be able to give you more than 15 minutes. Read a document or report.

3. The hardest thing for a new legislator to adjust to is that they really dont have a lot of say in what happens.

COMMUNICATIONS

Tips for effective communication:


Legislators are literally bombarded with questions and requests from interest groups of every kind. The way you communicate with legislators makes a big difference on whether they remember your ask or, more importantly, decide to help you with it. Cultivate a relationship with your Legislators before the Big Crisis hits. Legislators rely on constituent information to guide their judgment. If they dont hear from you, that leaves lobbyists, their staff and your opponents to educate them. Here are some DOS and DONTS that will help you increase your chances for support.

Do . . .
let us help you schedule a meeting with your Representative or Senator. write a letter to your Legislator. send an e-mail to your Legislator. use the Legislative Hotline to communicate your concerns. (800-562-6000) encourage, empower and educate your co-worker on the facts and importance of the issue and their ability to help. your homework! provide a succinct, factual message. be prepared to answer questions. be patient and listen when having an in-person visit. be prepared to talk about who might oppose your ask and why. calculate how it can help the Legislator to help you.

Dont . . .
rely solely on petitions, pre-fabricated post cards, form letters and rallies.
These tools have narrow strategies and if not used correctly, can have the opposite effect you are after. If you want them to remember, give them information that is succinct, well organized and on topic.

get off the point.

forget you only have a short time during a personal visit, usually less than 15 minutes. get indignant if you are asked to reschedule or wait. Their schedules are fluid and rescheduling is not uncommon. assume that yours is the only point of view. Legislators have to answer to many constituents. Use this opportunity to educate them.
