2. New Workshops
At our very first Executive Meeting held on the 23rd of September 2024, we have committed to holding two workshops. One workshop for new employees including understanding your benefits, i.e., the ServicePlus discount program for members, and a second workshop on understanding your paycheck, a very important topic as members continue to experience Phoenix related pay issues. Stay tuned as dates will be announced soon.
