Dear Members,

If you are reading this from your UMB office, then you are not one of the estimated sixteen million who call in sick the day after the super bowl.  There is even a legislative push to make this Monday a national holiday.  With so many with the super bowl flu, I hope for a lighter commute.

Each MTA local is assigned a field representative to assist and support the local in such areas as bargaining, organizing, membership development and contracts.

Union Colleagues of the FSU LGBTQIA+ Caucus,

We invite everyone to a Zoom meeting to discuss LGBTQIA+ issues as a caucus and report back to the FSU and the Core Bargaining Team. We believe a synchronous Zoom experience can help us better know each other and amplify our collective needs, as well as accommodate people’s schedules and transportation needs. We hope you aren’t Zoom fatigued just yet!

Dear Members,

I hope your first two weeks of classes are going well.  For early morning arrivals, sunrise is finally before 7AM! Monday, February 5^th is truck day.  This is the day an eighteen-wheeler is stuffed with Red Sox equipment and leaves Fenway Park heading south to spring training. When baseball begins spring cannot be far away.
