Now that the elections are over for our new legislators we have an opportunity to be able to pass new and better health care programs for retired and active members. I feel that it will be a huge issue during our next bargaining with QWEST for our next contract. So I am hoping that we can sign up as many as possible contributors to COPE. Even at the rate of $1.00 each will be a great contribution for this cause. Please contact ANY Union Officer or steward to sign up for COPE. I cannot express my feeling enough about this issue it was a big item last contract and will be in every bargaining from now on!!!  So PLEASE consider contributing to COPE.                                    IN SOLIDARITY YOUR PRESIDENT                                                                        Orville Lehmann
