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 Members, 

Happy new academic year!  The next few days are exciting as we reconnect with colleagues, meet new colleagues, greet our students, and try to find our classrooms.   Since last semester, the plaza has added new pavers, the quad is starting to take shape and parking Lot D is back open.  

The Faculty Staff Union (FSU) is gearing up for a busy year.

Dear FSU members,  

The FSU received member inquiries regarding an email notification informing members that their summer session parking passes were expiring.  This is the first time Parking and Transportation sent a communication telling passholders their summer pass expired before the fall semester pass began.   

The FSU has contacted both Labor Relations and Parking and Transportation and we continue to do so to resolve this issue specifically to follow past practice and keep summer session passes valid through August 31^st at 11:59PM.

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.
