Dear Member,

Yesterday we arrived at bargaining with the intention of discussing an agreed-upon agenda about a series of important proposals, including:

• Longevity bonuses
• Retention raises for TT faculty
• Increased salary floors for all faculty and librarians
• Accessible all-gender bathrooms

Admin arrived completely unprepared.

Dear Member,

UMB staff supported faculty and librarians by showing up to our bargaining action on March 5^th.   It is now our turn to support them.

Please join faculty, students, and staff this Friday for 15-20 minutes between 12:00 and 12:30 by simply showing up outside CC 3540.   The Professional Staff Union begins bargaining at 12:30 and we need to show the Administration that we support campus unions and the university staff who make this place run.
