The NAGE Minute: Local 282 President Chris Cook speaks about the fight for telework!Local 262 LGBTQ+ Caucus
Our Executive Board, made up of elected members from various EHS agencies, recently voted unanimously to host an LGBTQ+ caucus for Local 282. The genesis of this idea came from one of our fellow members and I am pleased to report that the vote was enthusiastically received and approved unanimously.
Participation in the caucus is open to any and all members of our Local. As always, the focus will be on justice in the workplace but with an eye toward ensuring that the rights and needs of the LGBTQ+ community in our places of work are fully supported. The caucus will be chaired by NAGE Steward Eddie Gorry. Eddie has been employed by the Commonwealth for several years, starting at the UMass system.
If you are interested in participating, I invite you to let us know by emailing Local282@nage.org. In the near future, we will be sending a survey to all who have expressed interest, to identify specific areas of concern and to direct the caucus accordingly.
Finally, if you are interested in forming a caucus to focus on any specific areas of interest, please let me know. Ensuring that all voices are heard will only make us stronger, together.
