1) Write letters to Senators/ Congressmen as well as to Assistant Secratory ETA Emily DeRocco individually as well as send these letters to Rajiv and he will send a letter collectively on our behalf to DeRocco.
We need to suggest points to include in the letter to Rajiv and Rajiv will give us a format to use.
We can find elected officials in our zip at the following

2)
Rajiv can help file a request under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the department of labor to discolose information.

3)
Rajiv can file a request to disclose information under the Privacy Act, in order to do so, we will need information on individual cases.
Rajiv is willing to do all this at no charge to us.

These are followup action Moderators/all of us will do in the next few days
1) Write letters to Senators/ Congressmen as well as to Assistant Secratory ETA Emily DeRocco individually as well as send these letters to Rajiv and he will send a letter collectively on our behalf to DeRocco.

Moderators or anyone in this forum : Write up the points to highlight and sacbee will send that to Rajiv for Draft. He will also find out from Rajiv how to send the same and to whom ( after talking to Rajiv on the same). LADUDE you can cordinate on this if anyone post points and draft a final list of points to be sent to Rajiv
2)Rajiv can help file a request under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the department of labor to discolose information.

Sacbee will followup with Rajiv Office on this and get back to us. Better we come out with a Format for (1) so that he can discuss that along with this while talking to Rajiv office on Monday
3) Rajiv can file a request to disclose information under the Privacy Act, in order to do so, we will need information on individual cases.
I think Rajiv might need Complete Inofrmation on all our cases . Sacbee will work out some modalities with Rajiv offcie and set up a Contact person and address to whom and where we all should send our Individual Case Details for this option
Rajiv is willing to do all this at no charge to us.
Sacbee to confirm on this one more time with Rajiv and inform all of us about this.If all the three options are free then it is very good
Thanks a Zillion to Rajiv and all his Team for their efforts in helping us out on this. They have contributed thier Time, Knowledge and Money for all us
Whenever we submitt details to Rajiv please send a Thank you note without fail

saknia said:Hi Sacbee and others
I think we need to follow seriously on the option 3 to start with . You need to Talk to Rajiv Office today and arrange where everyone can send thier information. Some mail id going to Rajiv offcie should be fine too.
Followed by that we can do option1 (writing to senators and Rajiv following up collectively) . This does not require much effort from every one. However we need to finalize a darft. Can some one post some draft which we can all modify and the present to Rajiv for finalization.
Option 2 - Invoking Freedom of act and asking them is a longshot which might take time. Our objective is to push thme to approve the cases struck in next 2 -3 months ( not more) .Thye might esacape Freedom of Information Act using some other protection they might have under Labor Laws of the Country ( some immunity could be therre for them 0
