CITY OF OCALA UPDATE

To the City Workers of Ocala:

As we await the upcoming Union election it's interesting to see how the City Leaders are reacting. Management is trying to make you workers believe that changes are going to be made to the current pension plan and that there is nothing that can be done to stop or change that. It reminds me of an old quote that says "a lie told often enough becomes the truth if no one refutes it". I believe that Management hopes if they say it enough you'll be fooled into believing that there's nothing you can do about your pension.

This simply is not the truth! By voting for our Union you guarantee yourself a say in the process. Changes may need to be made to your current pension plan but rather than having potential changes dictated to you by Management, your Union will work hand in hand with you to make sure your best interests are met. It's your money shouldn't you be part of the decision making process?

So, please understand why Management is having these "captive audience meetings" it's their hope that they can tell you enough times that you have to accept the changes they are dictating to you and that they have your best interests at heart. But, regardless of how many times they say it, it doesn't mean that you have no options. Your Union gives you that voice that Management seems to not want you to have. So, enjoy all the meals they feed you it's the least they can do. But don't let them buy your vote!

Thanks for all your support. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at:

Sincerely

Tommy Ward

Asst. Business Agent
