Governor Nixon Signs PSOB Legislation in Kansas City
On Friday, June 19th Missouri Governor Jay Nixon was at KCFD Station 19 to sign into legislation a new bill which created a Public Safety Officers Benefit (HB-580) for Missouri Emergency Responders who die in the line of duty. Under this bill, the families of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses and the pilots of air ambulances will receive $25,000 death benefit over their pension and workers compensation. The legislation created a new fund that will be used specifically for this cause. The fund expires in six years unless lawmakers vote to extend this benefit.

2009 Battle for Blood Campaign
The 2009 Battle for Blood campaign between Police and Fire Departments in the metropolitan area took place the week of June 20-26. This annual competition was established by the Community Blood Center in an effort to boost participation in providing a much needed item (Blood) for the community.
The results from this year are in and it looks as if the Police have won with 729 donors and Fire with 602 according to the information listed on the “Battle for Blood” website. The total number of donors in 2009 amounted to 1,331 which are down from the record breaking drive in 2008 which amounted to 1,788.
Local 42 would like to thank everyone who participated in this very healthy competition. The one thing that we must not loose sight of is the community where we live and serve benefits from this event regardless of who wins. Thanks for continuing to give back!

Choose Wisely When Selecting Retailers
Updated
On: Jun 06, 2009 (12:32:00)
As members of Organized Labor it makes real sense to patronize those organizations that believe in and support the fundamental rights of employees to organize and form a union. Legislation is currently before Congress (Employee Free Choice Act) now that would enable employees to organize a union without secret ballot.
Large corporations such as WalMart and Home Depot have donated large sums of money to defeat the EFCA. We encourage you to read some of the stories that provide the information necessary for you to make your own decisions when it comes to purchases.
Why would you give your hard earned money to an organization that uses its profits to defeat what we stand for in America? Yes it might cost a few more dollars each week to shop at another retailer but look where you money is going. WalMart is the number one retailer in America today and almost everything they sell comes from China. They should change the name to China-Mart. They overwork their employees and don’t provide them the opportunity to work enough fulltime hours to qualify for benefits. If an employee at Wal-Mart mentions the word Union they are terminated. You can read more about this at WakeUpWalMart.com. WalMart is mobilizing against the EFCA and you can read more about it at AmericanRightsatWork.com. See what Garth Brooks has to say about WalMart now...
Home Depot Chairman and Chief Executive Frank Blake recently gave an interview in which he stated his company’s opposition to the EFCA which would make union organizing easier, saying “We don’t think it’s at good thing for the country, never mind for “The Home Depot”.
