How do you get to campus? Do you ever drive & park on campus?  Do you take the T? 

Our UMB campus unions have been fighting for years to lower the parking rates and raise MBTA subsidies for all UMB community members– students, staff, faculty and librarians-- which most other Boston-based colleges and many public agencies have already done.

Over the past several years the campus unions representing faculty and staff (CSU, FSU, and PSU) have all pushed for and achieved some form of “expanded bargaining” – whereby rank and file union members (who are not part of the core bargaining team) are permitted to observe bargaining sessions between their union and the Administration as “silent bargaining reps.”
