Dear Members, 

Welcome to meteorological Spring (March 1^st)!!   

This issue of Nuts & Bolts is a potpourri of items.  Many of us have long ‘to do lists’ the next week from mid-term exams to grading assignments, so a little light reading for you.

Dear Members,  

We write with information on a campaign from MTA’s Higher Education for All and ask you to join us on Tuesday, February 28^th at the State House to make legislators aware of the needs and our demands for public higher education.

Dear Members, 

We all receive emails reminding us of an upcoming deadline.  We read it and then say to ourselves – oh, yeah, I need to do that before the deadline. Sometimes we do meet the deadline and other times grading, advising, committee work, and family life causes us to miss the deadline. 

This issue of Nuts & Bolts is a reminder to submit your RES funds.  But first..

Help us push for a larger pay raise!

Dear Members, 

Last week’s Nuts & Bolts explained how our raise percents are determined. This week we continue by providing you more information and asking you to help us push Governor Healey to set parameters that exceed the consumer price index (CPI) and hence, represent a true raise. 

Parameters? 

This is the term used to describe the percent raises of state employees.  

Who sets the parameters? 

The Governor.
