President's Letters

2/5/2024

Dear Members,

I hope your first two weeks of classes are going well.  For early morning arrivals, sunrise is finally before 7AM! Monday, February 5^th is truck day.  This is the day an eighteen-wheeler is stuffed with Red Sox equipment and leaves Fenway Park heading south to spring training. When baseball begins spring cannot be far away.

Dear Members,

Happy Spring semester!  (oddly, I write this in single digit windchills)

I hope you had a relaxing, restful, and productive period of non-responsibility. And for those new to UMB, we welcome you to campus and wish you a positive and productive semester ahead.

Reminder:  Deadline for Librarians and NTTs to submit promotion materials

The due date for Librarians to submit promotion materials to your supervisor is Tuesday, January 23^rd.

Dear Members, 

Close yet so far away……..

Thursday afternoon the Legislature’s conference committee came to an agreement on the supplemental budget, specifically on shelter funding.  The news reports seemed to indicate all was set and our raises are on the way.  That is incorrect.

Dear Members, 

RAISES

JOIN ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30^TH NOON FOR 8 MINUTES OF ACTION FOR 8%

Mark your calendar for Thursday, November 30^th at noon!!  Join fellow UMB union members in a campus 8 minutes for 8% action. 

Let’s show our administration how collective action works.  Our campus action is one piece of an MTA multiprong approach to continue to put pressure on the legislature to fund our raises.
