Unit 2 and Unit 3 members,
Please be informed that ASASP is keeping a close eye on the positions that are a part of our union that may be given to non-unit 2 or 3 employee while our own members have to wait in line. Being on the frontlines, gives you more opportunity to see these violations. We could always use a little assistance from you, when you see inconsistencies constantly occurring. If you see something, say something! 240.544.8314 text or call me!
