Here to See _________________ Watchdog Washington Online with new IAM Scorecard There is a new way for IAM members to keep an eye on their representatives in Washington. The IAM has launched a new information site called the “Scorecard.” At this site you can see how your congressperson or senator voted on issues important to the interests of the IAM. After studying the results you can write and print out a letter on the issue ready to sign and send to that particular legislator. If you don’t like the hassle of sending letters you can send email from the site as well. Don’t know quite how to word that letter? Scorecard offers you the option of a pre-formatted letter or the ability to compose your own letter. It’s as easy as making a phone call. The Scorecard is part of the ongoing process to improve the communications tools used to inform members of issues and events that may effect their way of life. Here’s how to get there. Go to http://www.iamaw.org. Click on the button called Political and Legislative Activity. Then click on button that says Be Informed. Check out "Scorecard". See you online.

COLA for December, 2009 Changing Economic Factors Result in Zero COLA for December, 2009 A word from Tom Hammonds the attorney for the union Recent economic
problems have resulted in many workers receiving layoff
notices. Many of these workers have valid work-related injuries but fail to
protect their rights. Kansas law requires that an injured employee
give notice to their employer within 10 days of any work related injury.
Many workers, especially those with hand and arm problems,
have not reported their injuries to their employers out of fear of being
medically laid off. When these same workers are laid off in a general
economic layoff, they must report their injuries within 10 days of their last
day of work.
If you receive notice you are being laid off, report any physical problems you think are caused by or made worse by work to your employer with a witness. The reporting of any injury should not affect call back rights. If you are being laid off and have physical problems; hands, arms, neck, back, etc., call our Union attorneys Hammond, Zongker & Farris, at 262-6800 for free legal advice and a free legal consultation. Don’t let your employer cause you more economic harm than they already have.
