Dear Members,  

The Classified Staff Union (CSU) members are essential to the operations of UMB in countless ways: their work literally makes UMB work.   And now they need our support and solidarity.

Dear FSU Members,

The Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) at UMass Amherst needs our help.  Similar to what happened to our UMass Boston GEO, their contract negotiations are not going well.  Administration proposals include higher student fees with a minimal stipend increase for a net income loss. 

Please take a moment to read and the sign the letter.  If you have family or friends in the Amherst area, tell them about Friday's rally.

We are stronger together.

Greetings, colleagues!

This final Point of the year is co-authored by outgoing President Steve Striffler, incoming President Caroline Coscia, and incoming Vice President Jeff Melnick.  As we shuffle the seats a bit as the semester ends, we remain clear that the real work of the union is carried out by all of you, every day, in your various roles educating, mentoring, and supporting our students during a truly unprecedented time.
