STATE NEEDS TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT STOPPING PRIVATIZATION

The state has not put in place any privatization protections during contract negotiations, even as it continues to turn over state services and facilities to private companies. Mid-Mo in Columbia and Western Missouri MHC are recent examples. The state announced Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric is the next target and it is feared that part of SEMORS will be privatized. All DMH facilities operate under the threat of privatization.

We will fight privatization at the bargaining table, at the workplace, in the legislature and in the public arena. We have jobs worth fighting for – and services worth protecting.

Find out what’s being done and what you can do to protect our jobs
from privatization. Let’s keep the heat on the administration.


WE HAVE JOBS WORTH FIGHTING FOR- SERVICES WORTH PROTECTING

Backing Our Bargaining Team; Contract Negotiations Continue

Arbitration is a widely-accepted method used across the country to resolve workplace problems. However, at the Oct. 6 bargaining session the state resisted having an unbiased individual decide on issues and instead continue to let agency heads have the final say in disputes. This is unacceptable and we will continue to fight to bring fairness to the workplace.

Backing Our Bargaining Team: Contract Negotiations Begin

On the first day of negotiations, we presented our case for safety, respect and security in our workplaces. We brought hundreds of members and supporters to rally at the Capitol, letting the state know we support our bargaining team. Speakers from around Missouri spoke on behalf of the quality of care and services we provide. Rally participants signed a declaration of bargaining principles and we presented it to the Governor's office. Together we let the state know that we are prepared to find solutions and fight for them; Because our Jobs are Worth Fighting For.
