Negotiations

11/30/2021

Dear FSU Members,

Please join all the campus unions in telling the administration that it must bargain fairly and improve labor relations on campus.

This will not take long -- Thursday, December 2, from 12:30-1:30.    (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom information).

We will be sending the Administration emails and remind them that a broad range of labor issues must be central to UMB’s strategic vision for a health promoting and anti-racist institution.

Dear FSU Members,

Please join us today at 4pm --  (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for registration information).

Please also join us this Friday, from 3:30-6:30.   (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for registration information).

And don’t forget about our FSU bargaining actions the next two Thursdays!

Dear FSU Members,

We are fed up. The FSU (along with the other campus unions, by the way, who are experiencing the same thing), are sick and tired of how bargaining, and labor relations more generally, are being treated by the current University Administration.  And we need your help; keep reading for ways you can support your union.

Greetings, Colleagues:

Full disclosure: this is the first of a series of messages you will be getting in the coming days about how collective bargaining is unfolding. I get to kick things off but before long you will also hear from FSU President Steve Striffler, and also directly from our core bargaining team and contract action team.  It might seem like a lot, but it is—I promise—important.

Dear FSU Members,

We have two days of bargaining this week, Thursday (3:30-4:30) and Friday (3:30 – 6:30).   We will likely be bargaining salary/raises, RES/Travel funds, as well as issues related to NTT workload and appointments.  Both days are important, and we could really benefit from attendance any time during the Friday session.

Please register in advance for either/both of the bargaining sessions this week (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for registration information).
