Negotiations

7/14/2020

Dear FSU Members,

We started main table bargaining last Friday.  The FSU core bargaining team was there, along with—for the very first time!—30 additional FSU members, who attended as part of our expanded team.  It was really exciting to bargain with administration knowing that our members were in the Zoom room with us, holding it down throughout and ready to caucus with us at a moment’s notice.

We presented five proposals to administration, based on your feedback this past Fall and Spring:

Dear FSU Members,

We are bargaining today from 12-2pm.   Although we have reached the 30-person “observer” limit, you can still join us in the caucus starting at 11:30 (contact the FSU office for Zoom meeting info) or follow our Communications Director on twitter (@melnickjeffrey1) – he will be livetweeting with the hashtags #umbfsu and #fsuexpanded.

Dear FSU Member,
