Nuts & Bolts: Core Bargaining Team Updates, grant cancellations, retiring faculty longevity bonus, period of non-responsibility, know your contract: Weingarten rights, MTA Union News, MTA summer conference, and MTA Benefits

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

This is the last Nuts & Bolts of the academic year.  This does not mean the FSU takes a break, we work twelve months on your behalf.  Emails to fsu@umb.edu are answered and we do work to resolve any faculty issue(s).  There may be a delay in replies as Lorenzo does take a well-earned vacation, and I also take some time away.
