Contract Agreement

9/12/2022

Welcome to the first issue of Nuts & Bolts, a weekly Faculty Staff Union (FSU) member email focusing on our contract, policies, bargaining and to share campus information.   

We are calling this issue Union 101.  Many times, we use acronyms when talking with colleagues and friends. The FSU is no exception. This issue aims to provide insight on these, including information on the FSU’s structure, operations, and our relationships.   

What is the FSU?

Dear Members, 

Our July 22nd paycheck included our 2% cost of living raise. This is good.    

What is not good, the university also took out a union dues deduction for dues paying FSU members. Union dues deductions only occur September to June, ten deductions.
