To City Hall,Unions Spoke
As One
On Wednesday, June 12, thousands of unionmembers showed up outside City Hall. Theunion members said with their presence thatthey give a damn about their collective destiny.
They loudly proclaimed that they are going to participatein their own destiny.
The rally was organized by the Municipal LaborCommittee, which is comprised of all of the unions thatbargain with the City. The call was for all members,uniformed and civilian, to show up. And they did. There was great solidarity
because we have a common issue: Every Cityunion has been without a contract for at leastthree years. SSEU Local 371 officers wantto thank our members who came out to therally. It shows how much we care about the labormovement.
The result of the rally was an energized, united workforce. There was also a clear message: We
are organized and prepared to fight back. We will no longer stand for attacks onour salaries, pensions and benefits. Our voices will be heard in the streets, in theboardrooms and at the ballot box.
At the same time, the Union fought against the New York City Housing Authority’s plan to privatize Community and Senior Centers and worst of all, layoff as many as 300 of our members and another 200 workers. After reaching outto housing advocates and City Council Members, the City reached a budget thataverted most of the layoffs, however, many of the centers will be transferred overto DYCD or DFTA.
Members are organizing against any lay off or reduction in social service,
including getting turnout for a City Hall rally July 2 at 5 p.m. We are still working with lawmakers and other coalition members.
As with all of our fight back campaigns, we need the membership to be informedand involved. It doesn’t matter whether you work or live in a NYCHA building,this fight back campaign affects you. Once again, an attack on any of us is anattack on all of us. Let’s mobilize, let’s speak up for our sisters and brothers inNYCHA. God bless you and God bless the Union.

SSEU LOCAL 371 members madetheir voices heard loud and clear along-side members from dozens of other Cityunions June 12 during a protest outsideCity Hall demanding that the next mayorbargain in good faith with labor.
Union President Anthony Wells spokethunderously before the rally, which ex-tended from Barclay Street to Chambers
Street on Broadway, leading the chorusagainst the Bloomberg administration’schoice of stonewalling the unions, while doling out wasteful contracts to hisfellow profiteers.
City labor is in a position quite unlike anyother in recent memory: The unions have
been operating on expired collective bar-gaining agreements for three years, whichmeans no one has gotten a raise. As right- wing governments in Greece and Spainenact painful austerity measures on themasses at the behest of the banking class,so too does New York City’s 99 percentfeel the pinch from the 1 percent mayorand his parasitic cohort. Without raises,
workers suffer hardships as rent, food pricesand other necessities of life have all risen,and small businesses who depend on thepatronage of middle class people suffer as aresult. Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s stanceis not just politically unpalatable, it is anunabashed act of class war.
But our message at the rally, organizedby the Municipal Labor Committee, wasclear: Whoever is the next mayor is goingto have to sit down and speak with theunions and hammer out terms that do notthreaten our health care or any other ben-efits. The next mayor must also recognizethe need for retroactive pay.
Peaceful Protests
The police on duty for the demonstra-tion, who in the past had shown unre-strained brutality toward non-violentOccupy Wall Street protesters demandingeconomic justice, showed respect for theunion members.
In fact, Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa-tion President Patrick Lynch spoke pas-sionately to the crowd about the need forfair bargaining with City unions. He notedthat while the cops on duty were stoicallyguarding the barricades, “They want to be
inside standing with you.”
We Need a Contract, and We Need One Now!
President Anthony Wells got the crowd hollering withhis blistering speech against Mayor Bloomberg.
SSEU Local 371 members made their presence felt.
SSEU Local 371 members were front and center at this important rally.
Police were supportive of the rally’s message.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Social Service Employees
Union Local 371, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO as of June
30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Union’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes considerationof internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Union’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Social Service Employees Union Local 371, American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in its net assets
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

From Her Post, an Inspiration to Write
W hen Kashana Ames moved from ACS to be a Caseworker atHASA, working directly with
clients with HIV/AIDS, she was excited,but her friends and family weren’t. “They were like, ‘Are you crazy?’” she recalled.“They were concerned about my health. Icouldn’t believe people were still think-ing that way.”
That helped inspire her not only to workhard at her job helping the clients, basedin the Bronx, but to write and self-publish
the book “Undetected,” a novel about dif-ferent people living with the virus. Basedon her work but not based on clients,thereby protecting their identities, thenovel is meant to depict how people fromall walks of life get exposed to the virusand continue living. “The characters arebelievable,” Ames said. “Anyone can putthemselves in the characters’ shoes.”
Ames hopes that readers might lookat the situation differently and changeperspectives on HIV/AIDS, as people liv-
ing with the virus are still ostracized from
society. “I love my work and I love myclients. I want to advocate on their behalf,“she said. “My clients have read the bookand they love it. This is for them.”
A Teaching Tool
Ames said, “I had a client buy the bookand gave it to her son. It was how she toldhim that she had HIV.”
The novel took six months to write,and even though Ames had no formal writing training, the process was easy. “It
came quite naturally,” she said. Anyone interested in buying the book
should email her at [email protected] call her at (646) 474-5888 or (917)400-5433. The book can also be orderedonline here: https://www.createspace.com/3805361.
Kashana Ames: Using the power of a novel, she wants
to change attitudes about HIV/AIDS.

Examine the candidates for yourselves. Ask the tough
questions. And on primary day, Sept. 10, show your support
at the voting booth for a vision for a new New York.
“Electing a People’s Mayor
For the past decade working New Yorkers have endured the cruelshock therapy imposed by the
plutocracy, carried out by a mayor who
embodies the 1-percent doctrine ofgreed and inequality more than anyother of his ilk.
The consequences, sisters and broth-ers, for working New Yorkers like us,have been dire. We have been without wage increase since our contract expiredin 2010, and City Hall has stonewalledus on retroactive pay and has demandeddraconian cuts to our health-carecoverage. The social services that New Yorkers rely upon have withered amidst
budget cuts, all while City Hall dolesout cash for things like the corrupt and wasteful CityTime system and throughtax breaks for his the mayor’s bloatedcronies in the real estate sector.
Three candidates for mayor—Comp-troller John Liu (who has been endorsedby our parent union, DC 37), formerComptroller William Thompson andPublic Advocate Bill de Blasio, came tothe SSEU Local 371 Executive Commit-tee in early June to make their case whythey should have the support of social
service workers.City Council Speaker Christine
Quinn was invited but could not attend. TheUnion hopes to hear from her in the future.
This says something about the powerof SSEU Local 371: The people who want to take back City Hall know thatthey have to listen to us, because weknow what the problems are in Citygovernment and know how to fix them. These people understand that we havebeen wrongly denied raises because of
the intransigence of the Bloombergadministration while we work hard tomake so many agencies function andserve the people of New York.
New Way Forward
All of the candidates who did attendoffered an alternative vision of howthe City should function. They sup-port policies that serve the interests ofall New Yorkers, not just the moneyedelite. And while those messages areindeed refreshing, we as union mem-
bers need to make clear that we are notsimply interested in a silver-tongued
orator, someone who can merely offer well-crafted platitudes about socialequality.
No, we are looking for a doer. Weare looking for someone who hasproven through years of public servicethat he or she believes that social ser- vices and public servants are a centralcomponent in a fair and just democ-racy. We are looking for a mayor
who will guarantee retroactiv ity in ournext contract. That is why we are asking members
to take a deep interest in this race.Examine the candidates for yourselves. Ask the tough questions. And on pri-mary day, Sept. 10, show your supportat the voting booth for a vision of a newNew York. Members should volunteerfor the candidates we endorse. Let’smake sure their agenda includes ouragenda. We should be at the table, noton the menu!

A City budget reached June 23 avertedmost of the layoffs SSEU Local 371
faced at the New York City Housing Authority, although the Union vowed tokeep talking to management about ways toensure no member faced termination.
The deal announced by the Mayor andCity Council placed 45 community centersand four senior centers under DYCD andDFTA administration respectively startingnext year, leaving the rest under NYCHAcontrol until Fiscal Year 2014. All theadministrative jobs have been saved, and atpresent no one is facing the axe.
“I’m confident we can save jobs and socialservices at NYCHA,” said Union President
Anthony Wells. “The budget gives us timeto negotiate and explore all of our options.”
Wells noted there were plenty of areasNYCHA could find savings, including stop-ping the $70 million per year payment to theNYPD for policing services private land-lords get for no extra cost. He added, “Letme be clear: We are not going to be satisfieduntil every last layoff is off the table.”
During a Union meeting June 24, mem-bers at NYCHA organized a fight back cam-paign, including calling for participation in a July 2 rally outside City Hall at 5 p.m. “Webuilt this,” said Amerigo Santiago, a directorat the Cooper Park Senior Center, speak-ing of the agency. “We have to stand up andfight. We have a fighting chance.”
City Council Involved
The budget deal came on the heels of adevastating budget proposal by NYCHAmanagement that would have laid off up to250 of our members and another 250 work-ers. Wells and other advocates blasted thedeal at a City Council hearing, in which law-makers also condemned the proposed cuts. Wells noted that the deal could not have
happened without the dedication of CityCouncil Members and the Union’s politicallobbying efforts.
While there is more work to be done inorder to fend off the privatization of socialservices, Wells said, the budget deal was still welcome news.
“To weeks ago we were dead in the water,”he said.
One member responded, “And now we’refloating.”
Members and officers laughed andclapped, then Wells added confidently, “No, we’re swimming.”

Update on Heritage Events
As many members are aware, District
Council 37’s lower Manhattan headquarters
was badly damaged during Hurricane Sandy
last year and was rendered inoperable. While
DC 37 staff are expected to go back to the
125 Barclay Street building at the end of the
summer, this has meant that no events since
the storm were able to take place in DC 37’s
main meeting hall, including SSEU Local 371
heritage events.
That has been an unfortunate consequence of
the epic storm. But the Union is still running
its heritage committees and looks forward to
having its heritage events in the future when
DC 37’s building is fully running again.
