UMB Coaches Unionizing!

3/1/2021

Dear FSU Members,

Coaches of the World Unite?  Yes!   The UMass Boston coaches formed a union and will be Professional Staff Union-C (C is for Coaches!).  

What makes this action amazing is that the coaches did this while on furlough and using zoom.  

The FSU welcomes our coaches to the union fold and extends a hand of solidarity.
