UUP and the State remain far apart on several high-priority issues, notably compensation, job security, and telecommuting.&nbsp;Our task is clear if not necessarily easy: we must move the State to address UUP\u2019s priority proposals on these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To assist the Negotiations Team for these upcoming negotiations, your UUP Buffalo Center Chapter has scheduled yet another opportunity to let your voice be heard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tuesday, April 11th<\/strong><br><strong>Student Union Room 145A<\/strong><br><strong>7:30 a.m. \u2013 9:30 a.m.<\/strong><br><strong>Coffee and donuts provided<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be an In-Person, Members Only, Open Forum Event, where Members will be able to stop by anytime during these hours, stay as little or as long as you like; and meet and speak with Members of the UUP Statewide and Chapter Leadership Team to express your support and concerns while also learning about specific opportunities for potential Action Plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be brief comments and any updates from UUP President Fred Kowal, Chief Contract Negotiator Bret Benjamin, and myself scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. and lasting no more than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some of you have been active in providing your input to these negotiations, others have not. 48% of the UUP Buffalo Center Chapter Membership voted on the last contract ratification. Ultimately, though, to be successful we will need a vocal, united membership insisting on the importance of UUP\u2019s proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please RSVP as soon as possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/ryvumWoKT6n2U4vu9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/ryvumWoKT6n2U4vu9<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is Your Contract!
