The UP Negotiations Team is hard at work, pushing against significant resistance by the State to three of our biggest demands: increased compensation, telecommuting, and better job security for our contingent members. We will be kicking off a campaign in April (details to come) to bring our members together here at New Paltz to add leverage to our demands at the statewide table. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, you can find the most recent Negotiations Bulletin here!

It’s time for our UP Chapter Elections again! Ballots will be going out in the mail to all UP members next week. If you don’t receive a ballot at your home address by March 25, get in touch with our Chapter Assistant Mary Thompson (thompsom@newpaltz.edu or x2770), to find out how to get a replacement.

You will have until April 21 to return them to UP headquarters – please be sure to follow the directions to ensure that your vote will count! Participating in the chapter elections is an important measure of how engaged our members are do your small part and make your voice heard. VOTE!!
