Grad labor is on the march!

Dear FSU Members,

Here is a quick update from our two (!!) bargaining sessions last week.

SALARY

As you know, the parameters for raises are set by the governor.  This year, those parameters are across-the-board raises of 2.5%-2%-2% over the three-year contract, plus a one-time 1.5% bonus (i.e. money that does not go on salary) in the first year.

Dear FSU Members,

Bargaining started yesterday in the form of a 3-hour session – we started discussion on salaries, raises, NTT equity, and other important issues.  If you missed it, the good news is we have another 3 hours session on Friday!  Please do not feel like you have to attend the whole session – but do register and attend for as long as you can.  Registration link below. 

Oct 29 (3:30-6:30pm):   (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom information).

Greetings, Colleagues:

A funny thing happened on the way to this week’s Point.  I had planned to write about last week’s bargaining session, which was held last Tuesday afternoon.  But then I didn’t make it to the “table.”  I was there as usual, Zoom link fired up, ready to observe the proceedings as I have been doing for the past year as part our union’s expanded bargaining team.
