Tell Congress and the Department of Defense:
Support the Beechcraft AT-6
Why are Americans urged to 'Buy American' but the Government is willing to go to other countries for defense contracts?
1400 American workers from 82 companies in 39 states could have benefited from this contract.
Does it really make any sense to send 1,400 jobs away
from our country?
How many capable people are unemployed right now?
Why can't we, as a country, do what's right and dig
ourselves out of this hole we are in?
More workers in America seems logical, more Americans have
money to buy goods and services, more jobs means more income
tax money for the government.
Maybe we should look at it a different way. If those 1,400
workers make an average of $17.00 per hour, then the United
States Government is missing out on about $6,000,000 each
year on income taxes.
Now try to imagine how much more income tax the government
is missing out on from all the other jobs that have left our
country.
We need more companies like Element Electronics that are bringing jobs back to America.

House Bill No. 2130
Labor Organizations, Political Activity
It shall be a prohibited practice for a public employee organization to endorse candidates, spend any of its income, including any income in the form of or derived from any dues, fees, assessments or any other periodic payments, directly or indirectly, to engage in political activities
This is part of the bill that was fended off for now, but it will be back January 9, 2012. If this gets passed, it will be harder for organizations to collect money for political action.

Kansas Workers Compensation Law
Gov. Brownback signed into law significant changes in the Kansas Workers’ Compensation Act. These changes will be effective on May 15, 2011, and will apply to all injuries occurring after that day. Most of the changes are adverse to injured workers, especially older workers who may have preexisting conditions. As your Union attorneys, we are trying to provide this information to Union members before the law changes.
