Members of Local 127 are coming together to improve the communication structure within their Local by creating a Communication Network. The goal is to have a worksite contact at each work location, from fleet to parks and recs, and all sites in between, that will help facilitate the flow of information between the Local leadership and the general membership.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of AFSCME Local 127,

On June 5th, you will be able to vote for Bob Filner for Mayor in order to defeat Carl DeMaio. Carl DeMaio wants to outsource your job to a private company if he is elected Mayor.

Additionally, Proposition B will eliminate pensions for new city workers and will not even give them Social Security. We must defeat Proposition B and elect Bob Filner as Mayor!

A Nationwide "We Are One: Day of Solidarity" will be marked in San Diego with a Candlelight Vigil to honor the April 4 anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's death. City of San Diego Sanitation Drivers have a special tie to the striking Memphis garbage workers for whom Dr. King gave his life 43 years ago.

Local 127 urges a NO vote on a discriminatory measure to cut DROP benefits for blue-collar workers and police officers, but spare other workers from the cuts. In a two-faced decision, City Councilmembers have exempted their own offices from the cuts.

Mayor Sanders finally dumped his scheme to privatize the Miramar Landfill.
The sketchy plan was cloaked in secrecy with details kept hidden from the City Council and the public.

Mayor Jerry Sanders gave hefty pay raises to two top bureaucrats while the lowest-paid workers suffer continuing pay cuts, concessions and a projected salary freeze for another five years.
