HPAE 5089 Rutgers Bargaining Update and Union Rally, June 24th

Management just cancelled our last bargaining session before contract expiration. Instead of coming to the session ready to bargain and make progress, management decided to cancel our session at the last minute. This is NOT acceptable.

This means that there will be no raises on July 1. It is simply not fair. Management is sending a clear message: negotiating in good faith is not a priority for them.

We will be rallying tomorrow, June 24th from 12-1pm outside of the Clinical Academic Building, 125 Paterson Street, New Brunswick NJ (please note location change from previous email).

Please sign up for the rally here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FHFGZ8G

If you cannot make it to New Brunswick tomorrow, please attend one of our actions next Tuesday, June 30th in Newark, Piscataway, or New Brunswick. You can sign up here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQ2LMZM

Together, we can show management that we are strong and ready to fight!

In solidarity,
