Dear CSU, DCU, FSU and PSU members,

You all received the email from Parking & Transportation last Tuesday afternoon, unilaterally announcing changes to our parking systems. We believe that these changes will create barriers to employees and students accessing parking, as well as raising safety and privacy concerns, as license plates are registered and scanned and information is stored by the university.

Dear FSU Members,

We thought the end of the semester would be a good time to provide an outline of where things stand in the bargaining process.  For previous bargaining updates see here, but for a broad re-cap continue reading!
