2 easy ways to support the FSU!
10/1/2024
Dear Members,
As we get into the thick of things with bargaining, we wanted to share two easy things you can do to support the bargaining team and show your FSU member pride.
- Thursdays are now PROUD UMASS UNION MEMBER DAY!
Wear your FSU t-shirts and buttons if you come to campus on Thursdays.
If you’re not on campus on Thursdays, wear them in all your virtual meetings, classes, etc.
Need a t-shirt? Want some buttons or stickers? We have plenty in the FSU office! Come by on Wednesday or Thursday and get some, or email fsu@umb.edu to get them delivered to you by campus mail.
On Thursdays, when you see your friends and colleagues in their union shirts, say hi, meet each other, and build our power!
2. Add the FSU logo to your email signature!
Attached is a gorgeous FSU logo that will look really great beneath your email signature. Show your support for the FSU and all campus unions every time you send an email!
Directions on how to add to your signature are below.
Sincerely, and in solidarity,
Faculty Staff Union

Instructions for adding the FSU logo to your email signature (this looks complicated but it's really not):
- Download the attached image
- In your UMB Outlook email, start a new message.
- Click on the "Attach one of you email signatures to this message" icon in the upper toolbar (icon looks like a piece of paper being signed by a pen)
- Click "Signatures..." on the dropdown menu
- Click "+ New signature"
- In the text box, insert the UMass Unions United image by clicking on the picture icon--it's the left-most icon on the lower tool bar. Navigate to where you downloaded the image and click on it. You should see the image inserted in the text box.
- In the "Edit signature name" field, name this signature whatever you want. Click "Save" to save the signature.
- Next time you compose a new email, click on the "Attach one of your email signatures to this message" icon and the dropdown menu should now include the name of the email signature you saved. Click on that and presto! You've now added a nifty UMass Unions United signature to the bottom of your email message!
