NTT Contract Conversion Update

NTT CONVERSION UPDATE 8/26/16

FSU Grievance Update

More possible layoff notices to NTTs and other important information from the FSU

Dear Colleague,

1. Unfortunately, the Administration may be sending notices of layoffs (either elimination of work or reduced time) for some NTTs with continuing appointments. We are keeping an eye on this latest development (see Article 21.9.4 for more information on layoffs). NTTs with continuing appointments must be given a year’s notice for either of these.

Urgent message to your legislator

Urgent message to your legislator or your health care cost share will increase

Dear Colleague,

I hope you are having a great summer. Two urgent issues require your attention:

1. Governor Charlie Baker has vetoed $412 million from the fiscal 2017 budget passed by the Legislature. These vetoes have serious repercussions for MTA members, including a potential increase in your health care cost share from 20% to 25% (if you are now paying 20%, your share will increase to 25%). Other educational funding has been cut as well for non-faculty members.
