Delegates took action on several resolutions during the 2010 Fall Delegate Assembly.

The delegates:

• Approved a resolution of congratulations on the settlement of a 16-week strike at the Mott’s plant in Williamson, N.Y. The successful strike ended Sept. 13.

• Approved a resolution to call on SUNY campuses to participate in the state’s new “Green Procurement and Agency Sustainability Program” to reduce and phase out the use and purchase of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic building materials and school office supplies by SUNY campuses.

• Approved a resolution in support of SUNY System Administration employees, including retrenched Nylink employees, management/confidential employees who were furloughed, and “all colleagues hit by these job actions, regardless of their unit, designation or collective bargaining agent.”

• OK’d a special order to award Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver with the Eugene P. Link Award for Outstanding Service, noting his firm stance in opposing the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act.
