'''SAMPLE FAX REQUESTING MEETING WITH A CONGRESSPERSON'''


Dear [Senator or Representative],


As your constituent, a graduate worker at XXX, and a member of [YOUR UNION], my union representative, XXX, and I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss the “Teaching and Research Assistants Collective Bargaining Rights Act of 2009” (H.R. 1461 /S. 813), a bill to amend the National Labor Relations Act to restore collective bargaining rights to teaching and research assistants at private universities and colleges.  This bill would correct the unjust decision by Bush appointees to the National Labor Relations Board that stripped thousands of teaching and research assistants across the country of their right to negotiate equitable pay, health benefits and workload protections.  


Teaching and research assistants perform an increasing share of universities’ labor -- including teaching, research and administrative duties.  Teaching and research assistants are workers who deserve, and whose livelihoods depend on, the full protections of the National Labor Relations Act, including the freedom to form unions and to bargain collectively over working conditions without fear of reprisal.  


I would appreciate a briefing meeting with you to discuss the reasons we need your support on this critically important issue.


Sincerely,

Return to TRACBRA: Sample fax requesting a meeting with a Representative or Senator.
