The NC State AFL-CIO has sent a package with sample letters, papers and envelopes asking that we write Senator Kay Hagan asking her to support the Employee Free Choice Act. If you want to write her a letter it would be a good time to state our dissatisfaction with her vote for the 62 cent excise tax. Come by the conference room and pick up the package if you are interested in writing a letter.
