Holiday Support - Don't Forget AFSCME Members on Strike

 Posted on December 15, 2013 in Criminal Law

The time of the year from November to the end of December seems like an endless holiday stretch, with parties, shopping, gift exchanges, and other festive events. This season is usually filled with smiles, laughter, and good cheer with friends and family making memories that will last a lifetime.

But the holidays may also come with less positive emotions. For families facing various challenges, this time of year is a painful reminder of their current struggles.  It is critical not to ignore the charitable spirit of the holidays and incorporate these families into our holiday giving. AFSCME Families on Strike

In is in that vein that our team of attorneys in Joliet at the Law Offices of Tedone and Morton, P.C. are proud to hold a holiday drive in support of local AFSCME members on strike this year.

We urge all Will County residents to keep in mind that nearly 1,000 working members of the AFSCME Local 1028 are on strike this season. Being off the clock and without a paycheck is a tough proposition any time of the year, but the consequences are particularly painful during the holiday season. These employees and their families are making many sacrifices in the name of fair pay and affordable healthcare. It is important that we affirm our own commitment to those principles by helping these members during the holidays. The Charity Drive

What: Donations of toys, gift cards, cash or checks
