Political Action

10/22/2020

Dear FSU Members,

Dear FSU Members,

The good news is that Governor Baker is proposing to level-fund public higher education!  This is a product of the campaign that the MTA – ourselves – has carried out during the past months.

If Baker’s budget proposal passes, almost every campus gets the same as the Governor proposed back in January, which was essentially level over FY2020.  UMass gets a little cut from Baker’s original FY2021 budget, but it is still higher than FY2020. (MTA is looking into why UMass got a bit less than originally proposed).

Dear FSU member,

The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) is holding an all higher education member meeting today from 4:30 -6:00PM for the purpose of planning political actions to address layoffs, furloughs, and health and safety issues.  

Please register for this important meeting and learn how you can participate in actions to stop the cuts and furloughs.   Registration information on the attached flyer.

Sincerely,
