It’s time to protect public employees from special interest harassment.
In the wake of the 2018 Janus v. AFSCME Supreme Court decision, special interest groups have used publicly-available personal information of municipal and school district employees to wage an anti-labor campaign to harass union members and undermine worker protections. It’s time to protect public workers from this harassment. Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to ask lawmakers to prevent an employer from releasing a public employee’s personal contact information! Last year, the Governor signed an executive order prohibiting state entities under his control from releasing public employees’ home addresses, home phone numbers, personal cell phone numbers, or personal email addresses to anyone other than their union representatives. Unfortunately, this executive order only protected state government employees, leaving municipal and school district employees without similar protections. Now, the Governor has included language in his executive budget proposal that would extend those same protections to all public employees in New York, prohibiting an employer from releasing this information to groups seeking to disseminate anti-labor propaganda and erode union membership. Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to ask lawmakers to prevent an employer from releasing a public employee’s personal contact information! Public employees deserve a reasonable expectation of personal privacy, as well as common sense protections against harassment. Please take action now! In solidarity, Andrew Pallotta NYSUT President P.S.: Fight back against anti-labor special interests that harass union members and try to undermine worker protections! BTA BOWLING ITINERARY 2019
