Glad they are not Union 666

Methinks SEIU888 is sending the town of Amherst a message. Probably has something to do with the Town Manager recently being awarded a 9.8% raise, or the million dollar surplus the town has averaged over the past five fiscal years. Or maybe the Devil made them do it.

ERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION

SEIU/888: 8 Hours of work, 8 Hours of Sleep, 8 Hours of Recreation promoting healthy, balanced, hard working union members.

Resolved on September 29, 2011 by the Town of Amherst Employees chapter of SEIU 888:

We will donate to the Amherst Survival Center (at Thanksgiving): $888.00

We will donate to the Senior Center Thanksgiving Dinner: $88.80

We will donate to the Amherst overnight shelter (Craig’s Door): $88.80

In these tough economic times, even though we have been offered a Zero percent COLA, we feel we need to extend a helping hand to our neighbors and colleagues. These funds were rebated back to the chapter five years ago.

  2. Look I make about $33-35 grand a year FINALLY after 9 YEARS of working for the town. Once I pay my rent, utilities, medications and Sallie Mae, I have very,very little to live on. I bring home $400/week and have 0 savings. Paycheck to paycheck from the beginning.
    BTW our co-payments went up so now I've got to come up with an additional $150-200 a month for medical bills with "supposedly" good health insurance.

  3. So the Democrat Party's brownshirts are giving a little money to charity. How nice of them. I'll remember it when they're stuffing ballot boxes next fall.

  4. Calling all union members Democratic fascists is a bit extreme, don't you think? Or do you think we don't "get" the brown shirt comment? We don't call YOU names. And we don't make assumptions about you either. BTW, I live in Amherst and pay taxes also -- are your taxes more important than mine? Please let us working people know.
