We also have a group of dedicated folks acting as “CATs.” These are more active and vocal members of our union who help collect information, distribute information, and organize campaigns in their individual areas. Our Grievance Committee that meets regularly to strategize and actively defend our contract through labor-management meetings and the grievance process. We welcome all members to take an active role in your contract compliance. Finally, we have a group of union volunteers who are the Professional Development Fund (PDF) Committee. This group meets and distributes contractually-obligated funds from the university for our members use.
Please consider joining one or more of these effective committees dedicated to serving the membership.
