New Year, New Rounds of Senatorial Visits, and Fundraiser Ideas

Jan 20, 2023 6:56 am

Hi ,


New Year, New Rounds of Senatorial Visits

The officers of GFT spent this week meeting with various senators to talk about the everyday challenges faced by our membership. Most of the discussions revolved around the lagging pay for members under the General Pay Plan, unsafe working conditions, unemployment insurance, healthcare costs, budgetary concerns, and emergency pay issues. Senator Chris "Malafunkshun" Barnett along with other members of the 37th Guam Legislature have been highly receptive on hearing our concerns.


If you have specific areas of concern that you want to raise to the Legislature, please feel free to reach out to the office, your site stewards, or respond to this email.
