NEGOTIATIONS SURVEY LAUNCHES!

NEGOTIATIONS SURVEY LAUNCHES!

You will be receiving an individual link to the USE negotiations survey in your personal email any moment now. The surveys are de-identified and no one – not even USE officers - will be able to see how you responded. If you do not receive one by Wednesday, July 8th, please email Theresa O’Donnal (USE Secretary-Treasurer) at teeodonnal@comcast.net ASAP.

As we enter negotiations, it is crucial that we understand your priorities. We all have different concerns based on life situations, junior/senior, job types and situations. Negotiations is an opportunity to attempt to address all of them. Make your priorities known so your negotiating committee can represent you at the bargaining table!

Please fill out the survey by Monday, July 13th. We apologize for the short notice, but everyone’s work schedule has been hectic, and we head into negotiations on July 14th next week.

You have elected the following USE Negotiating Team:

· Suzanne Balzer, Sr. Staff Negotiator

· John Perry, Communications Specialist

· Megan Havern, Sr. Staff Attorney, and USE VP

Theresa O’Donnal, Financial Economist, will be joining us for costing purposes.

Thank you for participating in the process and for being engaged as we head into bargaining. We will keep you updated as developments unfold.

In solidarity,

Paula Mastrangelo

USE President
