A&R welcomes Fiscal Administrative Managers, Healthcare Advocate Program Managers, and DMV Hub Branch Managers into our union.
A&R is pleased to announce that the above groups of employees sought for and won recognition at the State Labor Board to become members of our union. We welcome them as our newest A&R members. These newly recognized union members include most (thought not all) Fiscal Adminstrative Managers, all Healthcare Advocate Program Managers, and all DMV Hub Branch Managers. In total, these groups represent approximately 50 state employees who were not unionized, but who, through their own efforts, sought the right to join a union. They fought for and won union membership in order to secure a seat at the collecitve bargaining table and to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace.
STRONGER TOGETHER
Pictured above are some of A&Rs newest members from DMV. Common themes for why these working people fought for and won the right to unionize include: Equality, Unity, Teamwork, Job Security, Fair Wages, and to be treated with Dignity and Respect.
