I'm a City of Phoenix employee, working in Information Technology Services.
My husband has been battling ALS for 2 years now.  Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.
The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.

We have 2 children under the age of 5 and need all the prayer's and support possible.

My family & I are organizing a team for the upcoming Walk to Defeat ALS.

I was hoping to get the word out.  Here are the details...

   Many Unit Seven employees recently were given new guidelines to administer the upcoming Furloughs. I raised some concerns to the Management and they refused to hear any recommendations or modify the guidelines. So, with that response I want to remind people that guidelines are just that “guidelines”. If people want to make changes or accommodate their staff then do so! Guidelines are to be used as providing guidance not strict rules or orders. If anyone encounters managers or Departments mandating to the guidelines contact ASPTEA. We understand there has to be some sense of order, but divisions or groups should work out their differences.
