Contract has been ratified!
(posted 4/7/11)
Our first contract has been ratified with 78% of voters voting “yes.” However, this is only the beginning. We are very excited to enter into the next phase of developing out union.
Next steps with building the union:
As we solidify our organization into an even stronger force to advance our interests, we need your participation now more than ever. Please get involved and informed by 1.) coming to our meetings and events, 2.) “Liking” us on facebook by clicking here, 3.) reading the emails we send you, and 4.) regularly checking this website.
We need to elect a Business Agent and a Chief Steward. These are paid leadership positions. We also need to elect Division Coordinators for all the departments that don’t have them (BME, AMS, Psychology, SoMAS, Neurobiology). If you are interested in hearing more about any of these positions, email us at raunion@sbraunion.org.
Next steps with implementing the contract:
We will contact the Research Foundation to let them know we’ve ratified the contract. Copies of the contract will be printed for review, and then the Research Foundation and the RAs on the RA Union Bargaining Committee have to sign it. After that, we will figure out a date to implement the contract. We’ll probably be implementing it in another month or two. We’ll keep you posted.
