The FSU/MTA filed a charge at the Department of Labor Relations (DLR). This charge relates to allegations of anti-union animus towards the individual ('anti-union animus' refers to charges that member(s) suffered negative consequences regarding personnel decisions, discipline, etc. due to their concerted union activity).

The FSU filed separate grievances on behalf of 2 members who asserted that their salary is incorrect.  In the first grievance, the FSU asserted that the member was hired at the incorrect rank and hence given an incorrect salary. In the second grievance, the FSU asserted that the Administration reneged on an individual contract that would have granted the member a higher salary. In both grievances, the FSU is seeking to ensure that retroactive payment of the correct salary is paid.

The FSU expressed concern to the Administration that the administrative leave was imposed on this member without following progressive discipline. The FSU is working with this member and with Admin to ensure due process for discipline and/or dismissal is adhered to.

A member who was on their department’s Summer/Winter priority list for teaching was not rehired for Fall/Spring. The Administration asserted that as a result of not being rehired for Fall/Spring, they were not obligated to give the member courses for Summer/Winter. The FSU asserted that Fall/Spring appointments and non-reappointments must be treated separately from a member’s rights under the contract to have courses assigned in Summer/Winter per the priority list.

A member received notice that a public records request had been submitted from a source outside of UMB ("Defending Education") seeking the content of UMB emails spanning several months and containing specific words to and from the member (
