Dear Colleagues, 

After months of getting very little of substance from the Admin bargaining team, they have summarily rejected virtually all our proposals. We urge as many members as possible to show up before the next bargaining session on Wednesday, March 5 – this will take place right outside ISC 2003 from 9:15 – 9:45. We need you to make your voices heard.  Coffee and snacks provided!  Read on.

Dear Members,

200 members of the four campus unions gathered to meet with the Chancellor, the Provost and other members of upper administration on Tuesday, February 18th. We wanted to share our concerns and fears about federal government threats to members of our community on the basis of immigration status, gender identity, and race, and attacks on higher education including cuts to federal grant funding.
