SEANC is blogging
I don't know many folks in state government who blog (a prominent local exception being Pricey Harrison), but there are some folks who work around state government that are catching the wave.
The latest by SEANC can be found by clicking here.
SEANC is the State Employees Association of North Carolina. In his first post, SEANC Director Dana Cope lays out his goals for the group:
- To become the number one Political Action Committee in North Carolina
- To promote greater member involvement
- To elect at least 10 SEANC members to the legislature
- To gain collective bargaining for public employees
- To gain a fully funded pay plan
- To recruit 65,000 members by 2010
By way of background, SEANC has a long-running battle to boost worker pay, mainly fought in the hall of the legislature. The group watched teachers get a pay raises a couple different ways this year while rank-in-file state employees received much more modest compensation.
Again, go ahead and check out the new blog on the block. And if you want, drop me a line and let me know who else up here in Cap City you think should be blogging.
