Meeting with Assemblyman Englebright
On Tuesday July 14th representatives from the RA Union met with Assemblyman Steve Englebright. The purpose of the meeting was to keep Assemblyman Englebright updated on the progress of the contract negotiations with the Research Foundation (RF). We informed the Assemblyman of how the RF is being unnecessarily dismissive of our contract proposals. We plan on keeping the Assemblyman informed of the status of the union, and appreciate his continuing support for Research Assistants. This was not the first meeting between the RA Union and Assemblyman Englebright and it won’t be the last.
Assemblyman Englebright represents the Stony Brook area and is a member of the Higher Education Committee in the NY State Assembly.
