Dear FSU Members,
The FSU is looking for a faculty member to be an internal organizer for the union during Fall 2021 (and possibly Spring 2022). The organizer, working closely with FSU leadership, will be heavily involved in activities to support FSU initiatives, including membership campaigns and communication infrastructure. These activities will include campaign planning, developing messaging and materials, and organizing meetings. It will also involve meeting with members one-on-one, listening to their concerns and communicating those concerns to the FSU Executive Committee and union as a whole. The FSU will buy out one course of the faculty member selected, so that the equivalent amount of time/effort (25%) can be devoted to organizing for the FSU (i.e. you need to be able to take a course release in the Fall; the course buyout will keep you at the same percentage of time at which you are currently serving, i.e. if you are 100% with 4 courses right now you will be 100% with 3 courses next semester). If you are interested, please submit a short statement introducing yourself and any relevant experience to fsu@umb.edu by no later than March 12th.
Sincerely,
Steve Striffler
FSU President
