WEAR
RED next Monday April 4 in solidarity
Oakland,
California Musicians perform "Madison" to thank the protesters
in Madison, Wisconsin. Here's
their YouTube video, a must see.
"It’s about
power to the people. That’s where it should be. It’s called justice and
democracy."
What can you do
to show solidarity? WEAR RED next Monday, April 4, as a show of solidarity with our union
brothers and sisters in the many locations where the employee voice is
being silenced. And we especially want to show solidarity with our
colleagues in Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, Indiana, Alabama, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
This is a
national union moment about solidarity.
Watch for news in your local of other building activities. Some buildings
are walking in to school together, for example.
Request: Take pictures of your colleagues wearing red and email them to pamela.nichols@dsea.org so we
can share with each other. Thanks!

Why
April 4? Anniversary of assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
On
April 4th, 1968 Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis,
Tennessee. He was in Memphis on that fateful day to support striking
sanitation workers in the city.
Working people are under attack all across America as powerful interests
have united to not only have them work for less, but to even take away
their right to organize and speak collectively.
On Monday, April 4th, people just like you all across this country, in
all public employee unions, are being asked to show a massive
demonstration of solidarity by doing what he was doing on April 4th,
1968: acting in solidarity with union workers.
So, we are asking all DSEA members to WEAR RED on that day,
as a symbol of the blood Dr. King shed for his commitment to social
justice.

Our
Coalition of State Workers United reaches agreement
Wear Red and be grateful that we are not in
Wisconsin, that in Delaware, the political powers understand the value of
a democratic process, solving problems together; that solutions are
better when everyone affected has a voice, an equal opportunity to offer
their pont of view, bring up issues and challenges, so that they
find the best solutions possible.
Coalition of
State Workers United reaches agreement on finding $100 million in savings
in health care and pension costs: protects benefits and pensions, with
small increases in health care costs.

Next step: Convincing
the Joint Finance Committee members and other legislators to include
these agreements in the state budget.

Refinancing
e-mail scam sent to some DSEA members as well as NEA members in other
states
An
individual using the name “Michael Cohen,” and purporting to represent
Lowestrefi.org, is e-mailing members falsely claiming to be from the
DSEA. He is promoting a program, allegedly for all school staff in
Delaware, that offers low mortgage rates.
This
individual is not associated with DSEA in any way and is not authorized
to use DSEA’s name. DSEA’s sole endorsed mortgage provider for members is
NEA
Home Financing through Wells Fargo.
If you receive one of these e-mails, please forward it to MemberPrivacyIncidentResponseTeam@nea.org.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
