Dear Colleague,
There is power in unity. Your participation in CAPS Actions will help your union win at the bargaining table. Our strength is determined by YOU and YOUR colleagues’ robust, persistent participation.
The Action:
Update your email signature to contain one of the following approved-by-CAPS statements:
- Value Science. Value Scientists!
- Value (Insert your area of work)? Value Scientists.
We are calling upon the State to VALUE Science and VALUE Scientists, who work tirelessly to ensure that Californians are protected from life-threatening diseases, safeguard our wildlife and abundant natural resources, ensure the safety of our food, and protect our air and water from toxic waste and pollution.
IMPORTANT! Be Advised. Make sure you can participate! Please be sure to review the convenient Departmental Chart here to see if you can participate. Should you choose to participate in this Member Action while working for a department whose policy does not allow it, you may be subject to disciplinary action. CAPS may be unable to rectify such disciplinary action for members who choose to participate regardless of the policy. So, be sure that you can participate without disciplinary action before you do!
The Goal:
This action is another way to visibly show your support for your CAPS Bargaining Team and educate others about our issues. Take action to illustrate to the State that YOU and YOUR COLLEAGUES are engaged, unified and deserve to be VALUED via compensation that recognizes the important work that you do.
