But if you cannot attend the Lobby Day, you can still contact your legislator and ask them to support the OPEA agenda on March 11th. Be sure to call or email on your breaks and let legislators know that state employees want their voices heard and they need relief with a pay raise and to leave our benefits alone!
Be sure to ask your legislator what they are doing to help you with a pay raise. If you hear there is no money, ask what they are doing to provide a pay raise for you and are they standing up and doing the right thing for you.
