Dear Members, 

RAISES

JOIN ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30^TH NOON FOR 8 MINUTES OF ACTION FOR 8%

Mark your calendar for Thursday, November 30^th at noon!!  Join fellow UMB union members in a campus 8 minutes for 8% action. 

Let’s show our administration how collective action works.  Our campus action is one piece of an MTA multiprong approach to continue to put pressure on the legislature to fund our raises.

Dear Members, 

Raises: Thank You for Your Actions.

Thank you to all who emailed or called your representative and/or senator.
