Members of AFSCME Local 2428!
I hope everyone’s 2026 is off to a good start.
To begin this missive, I would like to thank Chris Newey for stepping in for me as President for the past month and a half. There was a personal issue that came up and I made the decision to focus on that in order to do one thing well instead of two things poorly. A second round of thanks goes to the Executive Board who, during all the tumult, were not only supportive of me, but also put in work during the holiday season to keep our local running.
Now, some updates!
We will be sending delegates to the AFSCME California People Convention this year in Sacramento. It is an excellent opportunity to meet members from other locals, hear about the labor movement across our state and have a voice in setting the goals for AFSCME CA going forward. Delegates will attend workshops and vote on varied topics, such as which political candidates AFSCME CA will endorse in upcoming agendas. If one of your New Year's resolutions was to become more politically involved in the experiment of democracy that is our country… well, this would be a good event to attend.
Please e-mail eboard@afscme2428.org if you would like to go.
Do you believe your duties or work assignments are outside of your classification? The Reclassification policy is located on the P drive under Human Resources - HR policies. We encourage all members to periodically review their job descriptions and those similar to or located near their worksite to ensure you are working within your class, and to review the reclassification policy annually. There are strict deadlines for submission located in the policy. If you have questions about reclassification, please consult a steward or officer.
Last year reclassification paperwork was due on March 15, so we can assume it will be due around the same time this year.
Please reach out to your eboard if you have any questions.
In June there will be several positions open on the eboard. The elections committee will be reaching out as we get closer to the date, but if you are thinking about running, or have questions about the Executive Board and the positions, please reach out to us with those questions and we would be happy to answer them.
And that is all for now! Hopefully you all missed reading these e-mails as much as I missed writing them. It's good to be back.
I will send another update out after the Board of Directors meeting in February.
Have a great week, and I’ll see you all over Zoom in a few weeks for our membership meeting,
William
