Dear Colleagues, 

We are writing as your NTT representatives on the FSU Executive Committee to urge you to vote YES on the ballot sent out by the Faculty Council last week regarding some important proposed changes to the FC Constitution.

Dear FSU Members,

We have now finished well over a semester of bargaining, including impact bargaining due to COVID-19 as well as main table bargaining around the successor agreement (2017-20).   The state of Massachusetts has not provided its annual budget parameters, which are necessary for us to begin salary negotiations – although this did not prevent Admin from pre-emptively offering us 0% raises for the next three years.   We turned that down and await information from the state.
