Dear FSU members,

The FSU contract ratification election is coming to a close. Voting will conclude at 12PM on Thursday, July 19th.

Your ballot was sent to you by Ballotbin, which is a software we use for our elections. In a few cases, the emailed ballot  was directed by members’ email providers into spam, promotions, or junk folders, so make sure to check those.

Dear FSU Members,

The FSU has arrived at a tentative agreement with the administration on our contract, everything except parking.  To move the agreement to adoption and implementation requires a vote by FSU members.  This email explains the ratification voting process.

The Elections Committee will conduct the ratification vote.
