Dear Brothers and Sisters:

DCSMEC is sending out a package by mail to all effected members who chose to take a 20% pay reduction in lieu of a layoff.  You will be given the opportunity to suspend your union dues while you remain in a reduction of salary.  You must read and fill out all forms in the package and return them to the DCSMEC as soon as possible (a pre-paid envelope has been provided for your convenience). If you do not receive a package by mail during the next 5 days, please contact the DCSMEC office immediately and request one.  The officers of DCSMEC will continue to look at any and all available ways to offset this financial hardship while protecting your employment with the District.

In solidarity,

Keith Love
Business Agent
