Negotiations

3/13/2025

Dear Member,

UMB staff supported faculty and librarians by showing up to our bargaining action on March 5^th.   It is now our turn to support them.

Please join faculty, students, and staff this Friday for 15-20 minutes between 12:00 and 12:30 by simply showing up outside CC 3540.   The Professional Staff Union begins bargaining at 12:30 and we need to show the Administration that we support campus unions and the university staff who make this place run.

Dear Colleagues, 

After months of getting very little of substance from the Admin bargaining team, they have summarily rejected virtually all our proposals. We urge as many members as possible to show up before the next bargaining session on Wednesday, March 5 – this will take place right outside ISC 2003 from 9:15 – 9:45. We need you to make your voices heard.  Coffee and snacks provided!  Read on.
