TUESDAY IS NESPA'S VOTE: TUESDAY!

• 
  NESPA’S CONTRACT VOTE IS TUESDAY, AUGUST 26 4 PM ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ADMIN CENTER.
  
  (THE TEACHERS VOTE IS ON WEDNESDAY AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.)
  
  Dear NESPA Members,
  
  NESPA members will be voting THIS COMING TUESDAY, August, 26 in the big white barn across the street from the Admin Center. The meeting is on the second floor of Russell’s Restaurant (elevator accessible) at 3305 Monte Villa Pkwy, Bothell, 98021. Doors open for sign in at 4 PM. The meeting starts at 4:30 PM and will end between 5:30 and 6 PM. Please plan on staying to the end of the meeting. WEA President Mary Lindquist will be speaking.
  
  The teachers (NSEA) vote is on Wednesday, after the work day. It is at a different location. NESPA votes on Tuesday. NSEA votes on Wednesday.
  
  Because NSEA has also reached a tentative agreement, there will be NO picketing of the School Board meeting on Tuesday.
  
  There is plenty of parking at Russell’s. If you need to bring your children, you may do so, provided you maintain them under your direct supervision. We will sit together by school, so you will know plenty of other people at the meeting!
  
  Why attend?
  
• To show RESPECT for yourself, your future, your union, your bargaining team, and your co-workers.
• To find out what was negotiated. There are rights and opportunities that make a big difference in our work lives.
• To vote. For a democratic organization to work, we all need to take responsibility. Don’t let others make this important decision for you.
• A high turnout makes us stronger for the next negotiations.
• We will distribute copies of the contract changes and review them together, answer questions, and vote by secret ballot.
• There is no absentee process. One must be present to vote.
  
  We could not have reached this tentative agreement without your active support! THANK YOU!
  
  We hope to see you THIS COMING TUESDAY AT 4 PM!

  Co-President WEA Staffperson
