Dear FSU Member, 

We are providing you with a couple of updates. 

Pay Raises:  Our pay raise funding was included in Governor Baker’s February 18th Supplemental Budget request. The request is before the state legislature for debate (not for our funding but executive branch initiatives). Hopefully the legislature will vote shortly, the governor will sign and then our Human Resources can begin the process of member payment.

Dear FSU Members:

Please sign the MTA’s Fair Share Amendment Vote Pledge.   The Fair Share Amendment will create an additional tax of 4% on the portion of an individual’s income over $1 million – to be invested in public schools/colleges.  We really need this!  Details below.
