Negotiations

1/24/2022

Dear FSU Members,

Please join us for an info session and Q & A – this Wednesday (1/26), 3-4pm - about the tentative agreement that was reached between the FSU’s Core Bargaining Team and the Administration.  The Core Bargaining Team and the FSU Executive Committee both recommend ratification of the agreement, but that decision is ultimately in your hands as members of the union.  Please join us to learn more about your 2020-2023 contract.

Greetings, Colleagues:

Happy New Year!

I truly hope you got what you needed—rest, focus, fun—over this winter break.

Dear Members,

Goodbye 2021….and hello 2022!  We hope you got a well-deserved break and are ready for what promises to be a challenging Spring semester.  

The University’s Covid safety protocols are not where the FSU would like them to be, especially in terms of testing, masking, and social distancing, but we are nonetheless returning to face-to-face teaching this semester.  Requests to temporarily move your class to a remote modality should be made through your Department Chair.

Dear FSU Members,

As we reported earlier, the FSU’s Core Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement on the 2020-2023 contract on December 22nd.  We are currently translating everything into contract language and a presentable form.

Dear FSU Members,

The FSU’s Core Bargaining Team reached a general agreement on the 2020-2023 contract last night sometime after 11pm.  There is still a lot of work to be done to translate everything into contract language and a presentable form – but we have an agreement.

We will provide a more extensive update in the New Year – as well as member forums to discuss the agreement, circulation of the agreement, ratification, etc.
