Meeting with State Senator Stavisky
On Friday May 22nd representatives from the RA Union met with State Senator Toby Stavisky. The purpose of the meeting was to keep Senator Stavisky updated on the progress of the contract negotiations with the Research Foundation (RF). We informed the Senator of how the RF is being unnecessarily dismissive of our contract proposals. We plan on keeping the Senator informed of the status of the union, and appreciate her continuing support for Research Assistants. This was not the first meeting between the RA Union and Senator Stavisky and it won’t be the last.
Senator Stavisky is the Chair of the Higher Education Committee in the NY State Senate.
