CAPS Contract Action Team (CAT) Survey

CAPS Contract Action Team (CAT) Survey

The Contract Action Team (CAT) is a Statewide network of CAPS Leaders dedicated to organizing State Scientists to win a fair contract. The CAT is an extension of the CAPS Member Action Committee (MAC).
The CAT is requesting your assistance in building better CAPS worksite communication networks. We need you to join us so we can work together to win a fair contract.

You will find below an application to become or recommend a CAT Worksite Leader or Activist that will help us organize our worksites. After your application has been submitted, the MAC will review and consider your application, may contact you for additional information, and will notify you of your acceptance, and next steps.
CAT Membership

The CAT is in need of members to serve as CAT Coordinators, CAT Worksite Leaders and CAT Activists.

CAT Coordinators serve as a point of contact to coordinate with CAT Worksite Leaders and the MAC, and they plan and mobilize union actions approved by the MAC. There should be one (1) CAT Coordinator for every (10) CAT Worksite Leaders.

CAT Worksite Leaders serve as points of contact to coordinate and communicate with fellow CAT Activists and State Scientist colleagues at their worksites and motivate them to take action in support of CAPS' bargaining efforts. Each Worksite Leader should be responsible for approximately ten (10) of their fellow rank-and-file State Scientists that they see, talk with, and work with on a regular basis (e.g., within their program).

CAT Activists stay informed with contract news from their CAT Worksite Leader and the Bargaining Team. As a CAT Activist, you would assist CAT Worksite Leaders in planning and implementing union actions, and communicate information about the contract action campaign to State Scientists at your worksite.

Both Worksite Leaders and Activists regularly attend CAT meetings to coordinate with the MAC and Bargaining Team.

Nominating Others for the CAT

I would like to nominate one of my State Scientist colleagues for the CAT to become a CAT Worksite Leader or Activist. (This can be someone State Scientists respect at your worksite, someone who people go to when there is a question about the CAPS MOU, or someone who is not afraid to share their opinions and ideas with co-workers, or to organize their colleagues.)
