BROWARD TEACHERS UNION NEED OUR HELP!

The Broward School Board is having a public budget hearing to give us the chance to speak out about this. The meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 29 at the K.C. Wright Building in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

We want to have a full house for the public hearing and make sure the School Board reinstates funding for art, music, physical education and other important student services. We also want the School Board members to guarantee that teachers and other
employees as well as parents have a voice in decisions being made in their schools. I am sure you will agree with us that the district needs to trim waste from the budget before they cut employees and student programs.

If we allow these draconian cuts: Not only no new talent, but no new ticket-buyers. Please wear a Local-500 shirt or a B.T.U. shirts will be available for all, should you prefer. Parking will be free in the Broward Board of Ed (K.C. Wright) bldg.; just state that you are attending the budget hearing. Again, this is important. Please come and lend your support by doing so.

Thanks
so much,

Brothers and Sisters, 7-9-10

Dear Brother Glassman,

You may be aware that in March 2010 , the AFL-CIO Executive Council issued a entitled “Piracy is a Danger to Entertainment Professionals”.

This issue of “piracy”, or Digital Media and Intellectual Property theft is of grave importance to our members because of the impact it has on wages and benefits. In this campaign against “piracy” it is necessary that we strive to educate and bring a greater awareness to our membership and the general public across the U.S. and Canada.

I am requesting your assistance in keeping members informed and educated by posting a link to the IATSE’s
site : http://www.iatse-intl.org/DMPTheft/theftlegalcontent.html

Where you members may gain access to these list so they know where on the Internet they should be accessing such content legally.

This will not only assist us in our campaign against Digital Media theft but it will also protect our members against fraudulent sites.

In Solidarity,
Matthew D. Loeb
International President
