Raises

11/28/2023

Dear Members,

Join us this Thursday at 12:15PM!

Time is running out to fund our raises before the New Year. We’ve been told that if the Massachusetts Legislature can’t fund state worker raises by the first week of December, that it will likely be too late for us to see our raises and retro pay before the holidays.

That means we must turn up the heat ASAP. Join your union siblings outside the Chancellor’s Office this Thursday, November 30^th for 8 minutes of action.

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.

Dear Members,

We are working with other higher education unions and our parent union, the MTA, to get the state legislature to fund our contract.

Our message to legislators needs to be clear: they must pass a bill validating our contracts before Thanksgiving.  Here’s what you can do:

Dear Members,

We are shocked and disgusted that the state legislature has failed to pass the supplemental budget that would pay our raises. Meet us at the State House on Monday November 20^th to rally for ourselves and for our fellow state employees.

Monday November 20, 11 am: Attend the Legislature’s informal session

Monday November 20, 12 noon: Rally and press conference outside the State House

Dear Members,

Today is the day to tell our legislators to fund our raises. 

Both the House and Senate will be in session tonight where we and all state employee unions hope the differences in the supplemental budget bills will be resolved.  Being resolved means our contract will be funded now and not in January.
