Today, several of your TAUP colleagues delivered a petition with hundreds of signatures to the office of the Board of Trustees asking for them to bargain a fair contract.
Each signature represents a conversation about our current working conditions and demonstrates the power of our organizing efforts as we stand up for what is just and fair. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, it’s not too late! Click here to sign.
Tomorrow, we will be back in negotiations discussing issues that are particularly critical to families:
• Healthcare
• Real parental leave for librarians and academic professionals
• Childcare
• Tuition benefits at other schools.
• Wages
The union will be fighting current administrative proposals that would increase family healthcare premiums by 4% (2% for individuals), increase in-network deductibles from $0 to $500 ($250 for individuals), and copays for specialists from $20 to $40. This represents a significant increase in the cost of your healthcare that is particularly punishing to families.
Join your colleagues tomorrow, Tuesday, 11/12 as we stand together to say YES to family friendly policies, and NO to sky-rocketing healthcare costs.
We welcome your attendance in support of the union’s stance on these issues, even if you can only stay for part of the time. We’ll be at the 201 Hotel, 201 N. 17th Street) at 11:30am.
Be sure to RSVP here.
