WE NEED YOUR HELP ON FEBRUARY 12, 2020, AND IT IS AN
OFFICIAL STATE HOLIDAY!
Currently we have bills in the House and Senate that would increase
court
reporter pay. Why do we need your help? Because -- aside from
wanting a
raise for all officials -- it has been difficult to find reporters to
take
official positions, quite frankly, because officials' pay is not
competitive anymore in the market. In order to keep our jobs viable
we
need to put reporters in those seats!! Please consider helping us
on
February 12, 2020, at the Capitol in Jefferson City. We will meet at 10:30
a.m. at FIRST FLOOR ROTUNDA.
MCRA IS THE ONLY REASON THAT THIS PAY RAISE IS ON
THE AGENDA FOR
THE HOUSE AND SENATE. IF YOU'RE
NOT A MEMBER, WHY NOT? YOU'RE
BENEFITING FROM
AN ASSOCIATION THAT IS WORKING TO PROMOTE COURT
REPORTERS, OFFICIALS & FREELANCERS. PLEASE JOIN
A MEMBER EITHER ON THE
MONTHLY OR ONE-TIME PAYMENT PLAN.
Below is a link to the HOUSE and the SENATE representatives.
Find your
representatives that you will visit and email me to let me
know who you
will be visiting, so I can mark them on my list. Also,
this is more fun
and easier if you will find a buddy to go with you to
the Hill. You will
be provided sample talking points when you go
to meet with house
representatives and senators to make our message consistent and as easy as
possible.
February 12, 2020, YOU have off!! Thank you to Lincoln's Birthday!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come help me at the Hill on February 12, 2020!
