Here are some ideas for your work area’s MAPE bulletin board. The bulletin board is an old-fashioned communications vehicle that still works very well for some work locations. These sample documents are only intended to get your creative ideas flowing – post what is relevant to your local members.
Check the MAPE website regularly to find the latest info of interest to your members. Printing from the MAPE website is now easier than ever, with the latest website revisions.
Remember that our MAPE contract has specific provisions on our rights with regards to bulletin boards:
Article 7
Association Rights
Section 2. Bulletin Boards. The Appointing Authority shall furnish reasonable space on official bulletin boards for the exclusive use of the Association.
Section 7. Association Security
B. Association Stewards Activities. The Employer agrees that during working hours, on the Appointing Authority's premises, within the regions and designated department(s) and without loss of pay, Association Stewards will be allowed reasonable time to post official Association notices on bulletin boards, distribute the Association newsletters, and to transmit communications authorized by the Association to the Appointing Authority as are required for the administration of this Agreement, providing however, this activity does not interfere with normal work duties, nor conflict with the security, rehabilitation and confidentiality needs of the Employer.
Let your statewide membership committee know what you post in your worksite. Send your bulletin board suggestions to jsmith@mape.org
