2/21/10 RA Union meets with local congregation
On Sunday, February 21st 2010, representatives of the Stony Brook RA Union met with the Social Action Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook located just south of campus on Nicolls Road. The meeting offered our representatives an opportunity to explain the RAs’ role within the University community, and to bring forth some of the struggles we have encountered in negotiating our first contract. The Committee has expressed enthusiasm about working with us in the future, and we promised to keep them informed on the status of the negotiations. The meeting was one of many we are having with various groups in the surrounding community in order to build support for the RA Union.
