November 8, 2023 (Call to Action)

Your CAPS Bargaining Team (CAPS Team) participated in mediation with the Administration (State) on November 8, 2023, with one clear and long-standing goal: secure a fair contract for our membership that addresses our most pressing issues and VALUES Scientists! 

No agreement has been reached and CAPS and the State remain at impasse. The next mediation session is scheduled for November 28, 2023.

Now is the time for State Scientists to use our collective power and stand together in solidarity.

Your CAPS Team has called for a three-day rolling Defiance For Science strike on November 15, 16, and 17, 2023. IMPORTANT NOTE: NOT ALL SCIENTISTS WILL BE ASKED TO STRIKE ON ALL THREE  DAYS.

How This CAPS Strike Will Work. Specific worksites will be contacted to begin our roll out of this stand-up strike. We will share more details later this week. In the interim, please be sure to update your contact information (https://capsscientists.org/members/update/) and sign up for email and text alerts (https://www.votervoice.net/CAPSSCIENTISTS/Campaigns/108580/Respond).
