The Recruitment Committee aids locals' recruitment efforts and strategically plans to increase NFFE membership within the Forest Service.
Our Organizing and Recruitment Committee chair, David Chevalier, is back on his feet and walking the walk again after a bout with congestive heart failure. He wants everyone to know recovery is on-going and going well. Dave expresses sincere thanks to brother Bryan Clonts for acting on his behalf while he was down. The missions and objectives remain the same... continue our recruiting momentum and pumping up energy, remember that every member is a recruiter, and that each of us should have an SF-1187 in our pocket for when the right opportunity pops. Every discussion you have with a co-worker is another chance for recruitment.
An ideal time for a recruiting event is when you have Master Agreement training. You'll have an expert on the newly negotiated agreement there to help you, and a large number of employees gathered in one place. Take advantage of this rare opportunity! The Council has approved up to $200 to help cover your Local's expenses (food, copying, etc.) for any recruiting event held on the same day as Master Agreement training. In addition, right now NFFE is offering cash incentives to Locals for each new member. The opportunities for growth in our union are bigger and brighter now than it has been in years! Here are some resources to help:
Recruiting tips: How to hold a fun and effective recruiting event.
Recruiting event notice: A simple template to send to management for events to be held in the workplace. You can then get tables, bulletin boards, etc. from them to support your recruiting event.
Welcome letter from the Council:
1187 membership form For Union Officials Use Only:
IAM membership form: This form gets folks into the IAM system and qualifies them for Union Plus benefits. Best to get it filled out at the same time as the 1187.
Council reimbursement policy and form:
NFFE/FSC Orientation presentation If you wish to show employees a powerpoint presentation on our union, here's one you can use.
NFFE Incentives: For each new member that a Local signs up, the Local will be paid $100 per completed SF-1187. Payment will be made on a monthly basis; however, in order to receive payment, all Locals must submit signed and completely filled-out SF-1187s to the NFFE National Office, C/O National Secretary-Treasurer. The submitted SF-1187s will be used to tally new members and determine payment to the Locals. In addition, the top five Locals with the greatest percentage increase in density will be invited to send a representative to the next Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. the following year, all expenses paid by NFFE.
