Activism

Greetings, Colleagues:

One thing you will notice if you read The Point in the coming weeks and months is that sometimes we dive into the knotty and granular details of issues that are very particular to our campus and daily working conditions.  In those email blasts we (the Communications Committee) will write or solicit contributions from colleagues that are rooted in local knowledge and primary research.  These email blasts should be construed as excavations, provocations, and invitations to consider matters of concern that we believe to be underappreciated.

Dear Members,  

The Classified Staff Union (CSU) members are essential to the operations of UMB in countless ways: their work literally makes UMB work.   And now they need our support and solidarity.

Dear FSU Members,

The Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) at UMass Amherst needs our help.  Similar to what happened to our UMass Boston GEO, their contract negotiations are not going well.  Administration proposals include higher student fees with a minimal stipend increase for a net income loss. 

Please take a moment to read and the sign the letter.  If you have family or friends in the Amherst area, tell them about Friday's rally.

We are stronger together.
