Letter to Governor O'Malley

An open letter to Maryland State Governor Martin O'Malley from AFT-Maryland President, Marietta English.

The letter expresses concern and disappointment with the inability of our political leaders to reach agreement over our state budget. 23 counties and the city of Baltimore will lose over $260 million, with the impact hitting hardest in areas that are most reliant on state revenues and that can least afford the reductions.

The votes are in and have been counted…………….. I am pleased to announce that OUR VERY OWN Michael Morris has won the 2012 AFT Public Employee Division Everyday Hero!

One of our own (BCFPE, AFT-Maryland, AFL-CIO and a Baltimore County Government Employee/Volunteer) HAS MADE IT TO THE SEMI-FINALISTS ROUND!

BCFPE is Going Back to the Table

As many of you are aware, BCFPE and two other locals, AFSCME and FOP, were unable to reach settlement on the extension language that was requested by the County that included concessions. We are continuing negotiations with the County to resolve these issues and feel confident that we will be able to reach a new contract before FY2013. BCFPHN was not requested to make the same concessions being asked of the other unions in return for layoff and furlough protections. (Click title to read more)
