Pick up the phone - critical calls to action!

Call 1-800-562-6000. Tell your legislators:

STOP HEALTH CUTS!
Tell legislators to fund state worker health care at a fiscally responsible level in the supplemental budget (SSB 6444/HB 2824). They will know what you mean. They want to triple your health care costs—that is unacceptable on top of the $1 billion you’ve already sacrificed and the average hike of $1,100 a year in health care costs imposed on you this past Jan. 1.
STOP HEALTH CUTS!
Tell legislators to fund state worker health care at a fiscally responsible level in the supplemental budget (SSB 6444/HB 2824).
CLOSE TAX LOOPHOLES!
SUPPORT HB 3176 to close tax loopholes. It will recoup hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue.
OPPOSE FURLOUGHS!
OPPOSE SSB 6503, the state employee furlough bill. Its unintended consequences will cost more, not less. It’s in the budget bills, but has not been voted on by the House.
OPPOSE INSTITUTIONS CLOSURES!

PASS INTERPRETERS’ COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BILL, E2SSB 6726.
Give state Medicaid interpreters a voice on economics and workplace issues and a seat at the table on a reform-oriented work group. It needs to pass out of the House.
