Sen. Howard Stephenson's attack on the UEA

Sen. Stephenson will introduce legislation to eliminate our right to bargain, our ability to deduct association dues from payroll and start giving tax credits for private school tuition.

Message to OEA Members from President Doug Stephens

O.E.A. Members,
I will deliver the signed contracts that we have gathered at the UniServ office on the morning of July 20th, (Wednesday).  The last chance for you to have me deliver your contract to the district will be to turn it in tomorrow, July 19th (at the UniServ office) from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Please turn in your contract on your own if you cannot get them to us at the UniServ Office, 939 25th Street tomorrow. Remember the deadline is July 20th at 4:00pm.

If you turn in your contract to us and would like verification that we have a receipt from the district for you please email me( stephensd@ogdensd.org ) and I would be happy to respond that I have a receipt for you.

If you want a copy of the receipt you will need to check with the staff at the UniServ office.  The phone number is 801-399-3746.

Thanks,
Doug Stephens

Nice article by President Gallagher-Fishbaugh in Sunday Trib

Go to http://www.sltrib.com/ to read a very nice opinion piece by Sharon on our situation here in Ogden.

Also, in the Standard Examiner (http://www.standard.net/)  Brad Smith, OCSD Board member continues to say that the OEA refused invitations to meet in April and May..TOTALLY FALSE...

Watch today's KSL's "Sunday Edition" and KUTV's "Take Two"for more discussion of the contract crisis in Ogden.

Thanks Rick
