strategic plan that centered on

• Big changes in the way we do member
  representation
• A Sacramento-wide internal organizing campaign
• Focused union building campaigns in four
  departments

• SCIF
• EDD
• DMV

Why we targeted what we targeted

• Sacramento union weaker where we need to be
  stronger
• CDCR, SCIF, EDD, DMV big departments facing
• big challenges

Core goal of our Sacramento and Departmental
Campaigns

in the future. Capacity stronger union
organization at the worksites so we can do more

• More leaders and activists
• More people trained to represent members,
  mobilize members, do effective political action
• More effective communication with members
• More members taking an active part in the work
  of the Union
• and so on

Winning today is good Being able to win more
tomorrow is better!

Since the December meeting, the Officers have
begun to aggressively implement these decisions

• The President has appointed a member Task Force
  for each campaign, and staff, member leave and
  financial resources have been committed to each
  campaign.
• Each Task Force is broadly representative of
  the overall workforce (BU, program, geography,
  etc.)
• All Task Force members have committed to
  working to build a stronger union in the
  worksites in their departments And each Task
  Force is responsible for making and implementing
  plans to build the Union in their department and
  to take on major issues that affect Local 1000
  members.
• A 2-day retreat for all task force members has
  been set for March 5-6 to launch the campaigns.
