Check out your buildings MAC bulletin board

Public education has been the target of Governor Chris Christie since he took office in January, and his attacks are only
intensifying. Member engagement is now critical in this fight for the future of our schools and our profession. In order to
communicate and engage members quickly , Member Action Center (MAC) bulletin boards are now on display in each
building. These MAC displays are the "go-to" places for the latest information about current challenges and strategies for
engaging members as we fight the legislative proposals during this difficult political climate. If you have already visited your
MAC bulletin board, current legislative alerts now posted include the attack on pensions and benefits of current, future and
retired members, the 2% cap on salaries and benefits, contract imposition, the approval of contracts by the Executive County
Superintendents, and the cap on sick-leave buyouts. You should have also noticed the simple and direct format of each alert
that includes the Issue (brief summary of the update), the Talking Points (key messages of the update), and To Do
(recommended actions). As new alerts become available, they will be transmitted to each building representative for posting
on the MAC. Therefore, members should check the MAC in their buildings regularly.

The same MAC documents are accessible to all members by signing onto njea.org.
