Faculty Staff Union

12/13/2021

Greetings, Colleagues: 

Since I believe that a picture really can be worth a thousand words, I am going to keep this week’s Point very brief and mainly want to say: see below.  What you are seeing is members of all the campus unions, joined together in solidarity, trying to deliver a simple message to the chancellor: fair bargaining now. 

Of course all these union members were initially blocked from the main stairwells and elevators by the campus safety officers, presumably acting on the orders of upper administration.

Dear FSU Members,

Thanks so much to those of you who joined in yesterday’s all union meeting – with around 200 UMB union members.   We sent a clear message – from all the unions – to the Chancellor that labor relations need to improve if we want to be a health-promoting university.  Please join all the unions next Thursday in Quinn at 12:30 to make sure this message is heard.
