NTT FA signs tentative agreement at 5:10 a.m.

Now only the Faculty Association remains without a FAIR collective bargaining agreement.

NTT employees are to report to work because there is a no-strike clause in the contract. NTT should support the FA when not at work.

The team is exhausted so details will be released at a later time. NTT FA does thank everyone in NTT FA who helped and voted in SOLIDARITY!

 

4:05 a.m. GAU signs — NTT STILL WAITING

Graduate Assistants United signed a tentative agreement but the Non-tenure Track Faculty Union does NOT have an agreement at this time.

ONLY ACsE and GAU have signed. NTTs WAIT TO HEAR YOUR UNION HAS SIGNED BEFORE REPORTING TO WORK.

ACsE signs tentative agreement

At approximately 2:45 a.m., the Association of Civil Service Employees at SIUC signed a tentative agreement. ACsE employees will not be going on strike.

The ACsE tentative agreement resolves issues surrounding job protection, unpaid closure, personal days and summer insurance for less than 12-month employees. The deal also includes a parking permit installment plan.

The GAU and NTT FA await language that may lead those locals to tentative agreements.

The coffee machine is out of coffee.

 

Designated hitter number 2 says did the Cards win? I don’t know I’ve been bargaining

This post is from AJ Stoner, president of the NTT FA. I was on the bargaining team and then was elected president, so I am juggling many roles. Tonight (or, this morning) I am keeping a promise to Kristi.

Here’s some of today’s Coalition news as reported to me.

The Coalition is hosting an Open House at the Strike Headquarters, located in the old Carbondale High School, Friday from 4:30-7.

 
Looking for Volunteers:

• Facilities management needs one or two folks to help clean up a couple rooms at the Strike HQ. Contact your local facilities committee member or Dave at fada169(at)yahoo(dot)com.
• We have several volunteers already and still need several more to become Squad Leaders. Squad Leaders can attend either of two one-hour training sessions at the Strike HQ, Saturday at 1 and Tuesday at 6 p.m. Contact George georgerbricker(at)yahoo(dot)com if you can help.
• There also are some “low profile opportunities” for volunteers who consider themselves more vulnerable for whatever reason. Contact your local president for more information.

Upcoming events

• Thursday October 27, 10am-4pm: Information Table in the Student Center

Oh and I almost forgot, a little red bird told me that the World Series was rained out.
