Negotiations

Dear FSU Members,   

As you know, approximately 350 NTT faculty received non-appointment letters this past spring, meaning that they would not be offered classes to teach this fall.  

While close to 80% have been hired back, one of them, Maria Mellone, has not.  Maria Mellone was an Associate Lecturer in the Math Department.  She was also a member of our Core Bargaining Team, the first Associate Lecturer appointed and confirmed by the Executive Committee of the FSU to this important committee.

Dear Colleague,

Sometimes you don’t know it is a trilogy until you get to the third one, right?

Dear FSU Members, 

We just finished our second main table bargaining session, the agenda for which was that administration would respond to the FSU’s proposals (detailed below our signature) and present proposals of their own. 

Despite having had over a month to prepare, however, administration did not in fact have any proposals to offer.  As well, they were largely dismissive, without substantial engagement or discussion, of the FSU’s proposals.

Greetings, Colleagues,

Remember last Monday?  Me neither, not much anyway.

Dear FSU Members,

As you know, the FSU is now able to bring 30 members of our bargaining team (that’s you!) to attend bargaining sessions with our Core Bargaining Team.   The next bargaining session is August 17^th from 1:30 to 3:00pm.  Please register if you wish to participate (contact Steve Striffler or the FSU office for registration information).
