Since you have all signed up in our union as > "business, informational and technical writers," this development may be of > importance to you. > On March 9, 1998, I secured an opinion from the Colorado Department of Labor > that one of our brothers here in Colorado is not receiving the overtime pay he > is entitled to. As an hourly paid technical (computer) writer making under > $27.63 per hour, his contract should not have excluded overtime pay. A number > of contractors in the state are presently violating the law here in Colorado. > If this is the situation with you in your contract, please get in touch with > me immediately. > In addition to helping our existing members secure the overtime pay that they > are entitled to, our union intends to use this as an organizing issue in the > state. Any and all leads you can refer to me in this regard would help the > hourly paid individuals involved and our union. Please refer all leads to me > at one of the contacts below. > We are also targeting some specific companies in our organizing drive. These > include U.S. West, Lucent, TCI, Storage Technology, IBM, Echostar, Tele Tech, > QWest, Maxtor and Exabyte. If any of you have any dealings with these > companies, please give me a call for a confidential discussion regarding these > issues. > Fraternally, > Dennis DeMaio > Co-Chair, At-Large Local > E-Mail: dpdemaio@aol.com > 4110 Vrain St. > Denver, CO 80212 > (303) 480-9268 |
