Know Your Contract Workshop was held at SUNY Fredonia. The question and answer workshop was attended by 84 Fredonia UUP members. Presenters were Fred Kowal, Jamie Dangler, Philippe Abraham, and Tara Singer-Blumberg.
Here are some questions from Workshop:
Q: What is used to calculate Dependent Care Advantage/Flexible Spending Accounts?
A: Base salary (available to all full-time and part-time employees).
Q: DSA background?
A: Different from any previous contract–not added to base; campuses required to distribute $ to part-timers.
President Horvath will share exact amounts to be distributed to full-timers and part-timers with Ziya and Tara today; campus President’s decision, UUP role is to consult when requested and to act as watch dog. President Horvath did consult with UUP in Labor Management; no one perspective stood out when we took a survey, so we didn’t advocate a particular method. Management will certify to UUP who got what.
