College Assistance
If the local or state authorities have declared your home to be in an mandatory evacuation area and/or your home may have been flooded, you and your family may be eligible for your lodging and subsistence benefits in addition to administrative leave.
We are working with Deputy Commissioner Nancy Berryhill to identify affected employees.
If you feel you may be eligible for these benefits, please contact us as soon as possible. If you have a co-worker, who is unable to work due to the severe weather conditions, please share this information with him/her.
We have flooding in Southern Illinois and Missouri and 25 deaths caused by flooding in Missouri and Illinois. We are aware that our employees who have lost their homes due to floods are given lodging and per diem according to OPM Regulations. We have been advised that SSA is referring our employees who have lost homes to Red Cross Shelters rather than following the OPM Regulations.

Labor Notes 2015 Year in Review
December 28th, 2015 | Posted by in Did you know? | Events | Solidarity | UNION MADE | Your Rights - (0 Comments)Labor Notes is a media and organizing project that has been the voice of union activists who want to put the movement back in the labor movement since 1979.
Through our magazine, website, books, conferences, and workshops, we promote organizing, aggressive strategies to fight concessions, alliances with workers’ centers, and unions that are run by their members.
Labor Notes Conferences just keep getting better. We couldn't be more excited about what's in store in 2016.
For a glimpse at the variety of troublemakers you'll meet, check out our 2015 Year in Review and consider just a few of the inspiring stories of grassroots resistance we've recently highlighted:
* Auto workers and carhaulers organizing to vote down concessionary contracts.
* Farmworkers striking for $15 an hour.
* Verizon retirees blocking trucks to defend their health care.
* Chicago high school students winning back their school librarian’s job by walking out and sitting in
