Activism

12/13/2021

Greetings, Colleagues: 

Since I believe that a picture really can be worth a thousand words, I am going to keep this week’s Point very brief and mainly want to say: see below.  What you are seeing is members of all the campus unions, joined together in solidarity, trying to deliver a simple message to the chancellor: fair bargaining now. 

Of course all these union members were initially blocked from the main stairwells and elevators by the campus safety officers, presumably acting on the orders of upper administration.

Please register for bargaining this Monday – from 4-7  (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for registraton information).    [Before you register, please make sure you can attend at least some of the bargaining session; we reached our capacity of 30 members last time and some folks couldn’t attend since we filled up]

Thanks to the roughly two hundred union members who showed up to make our collective voice known to the Administration – Fair Bargaining Now!

Dear FSU Members,

Last Thursday, around 200 union members from the FSU, PSU, CSU, GEO, and DCU met to discuss the shared problems the unions are facing at the bargaining table and with labor relations in general.    What can you do to help?

1. Please join us for a rally with all the campus unions!

THURSDAY, 12:30-1:30 PM

QUINN, 1^ST FLOOR

Dear FSU Members,

Thanks so much to those of you who joined in yesterday’s all union meeting – with around 200 UMB union members.   We sent a clear message – from all the unions – to the Chancellor that labor relations need to improve if we want to be a health-promoting university.  Please join all the unions next Thursday in Quinn at 12:30 to make sure this message is heard.

Dear FSU Members,

Please join us tomorrow (Friday), from 3:30-6:30, for our next bargaining session with the Administration.   (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for registration information).

And don’t forget about our next FSU bargaining action next Thursday!

Thursday, December 9, from 12:30-1:30: Please join all the campus unions on the first floor of Quinn for a rally; we will deliver a letter to the Administration demanding fair, serious, bargaining.
