Heartland Strikers Support Rally

3:00 PM – Thursday, March 6

As you know, the employees of Heartland Human Services have been on strike for nearly eight months now--standing up against an employer whose only goal is to break their spirits and break the union.

They have soldiered on through one of the coldest, snowiest winters in recent memories with remarkable fortitude and determination.

It is critical that the Heartland workers know that their AFSCME family is standing with them. So we are asking as many of you as possible to join in a rally in Effingham at the conclusion of bargaining this coming Thursday, March 6 at 3:00 PM.

The rally will be held at the old County Courthouse at 100 E. Jefferson Effingham, IL. The Courthouse takes up the block bounded by Jefferson Street, 4th Street, Washington St, and 3rd Street. For those who have been to our office at 207 North 4th Street, Effingham IL 62401, the office is less than a block away.

Parking lots close by include:
· 3rd and Market and 3rd and Washington
· 2nd and Jefferson (behind City Hall)
· 3rd and Market (across from the post office)
· 4th and Market
