Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the entire UUP Buffalo Center Chapter volunteer members of the Leadership Team who work to support your terms and conditions of employment as a New York State employee working at the university, I would like to extend a warm welcome and best wishes for the upcoming Academic year!
Personally, I continue to be confident and proud of our UUP Buffalo Center Chapter Leadership Team (Department Reps, Board Members, Officers, Various Committee Chairs and their Committee Members, and a wide variety of Support Personnel including UUP Central, CWA, and NYSUT), as we begin this Academic Year.
As we look forward to some new challenges both within the university and statewide, we still need you to remain diligent in our continued efforts regarding terms and conditions of employment within your Workplace Culture including Civility, Excessive Workload, and Health & Safety concerns.
Our union tagline remains “UUP – The Union That Makes SUNY Work!”. This Academic year, your UUP Buffalo Center will be conducting Chapter Elections for a variety of Chapter Leadership Team Positions, I encourage you to look at what role you may have to offer the Chapter and consider joining your outstanding Leadership Team, making our UUP Buffalo Center Chapter even larger and stronger.
Looking ahead to the Fall 2024 semester, your Buffalo Center Chapter has scheduled a General Membership Meeting for Tuesday, September 10th and a Welcome Back Picnic on Wednesday, September 18th. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to participate in workshops sponsored by VOYA, individual opportunities to meet with representatives from AFLAC/Colonial Life, the return of the BCC UUP Happy Hours, and Breakfast Socials. Check upcoming notifications for details on all these opportunities, and we look forward to your participation!
“Together We Fight, Together We Win!”
In Solidarity,
Ken Kern
Chapter President
