Contract Action Team – need volunteers!
9/20/2021
Dear FSU Members,
Are you interested in becoming more involved in the FSU and bargaining? Yes….you say?
The FSU is looking for 3-5 people to be part of the Contract Action Team, or CAT! If you are interested, please let the FSU know (fsu@umb.edu) and join us on September 29th at 3pm: (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom information). Chris Fung, a faculty member in anthropology and FSU organizer, will chair this important team. The CAT supports bargaining. It does not involve a ton of work, but it is important – and our first bargaining session of the Fall is October 12th. The CAT:
- Makes sure we have 30 members at each expanded bargaining session.
- Makes sure that we don’t have the same 30 members at every bargaining session. We want as many members as possible, from all colleges and ranks, to experience the joys of bargaining! This just requires some nudging and a bit of organization.
- Finds ways to support FSU bargaining proposals outside of bargaining sessions by mobilizing members (and sometimes media) to pressure the Administration to do right by faculty, students, and staff.
Sincerely,
Steve Striffler Chris Fung
FSU President FSU Organizer
