More questionable spending at RF
Yesterday, on November 30th, the Albany Times Union reported “Ties to SUNY bring payout: Board members, private lobbyists, hockey team among research foundation contractors.” Read the full article to see details of more questionable spending at the Research Foundation. Why does the RF not want us to form a union?
…The payments are listed in a document that a person at the secretive research foundation showed a reporter, who was barred from making photocopies.
Read the article and you’ll probably agree that it’s because we, as some of the lowest paid employees of the RF, have a lot to gain with a seat at the bargaining table. When we form a union this December 5th we’ll have the right to negotiate directly with the RF. We can help the RF become more transparent and accountable. Together we can help Stony Brook University become a better place, and make the RF a better employer.
