Our first negotiation with PSU administration is next week, March 10. This is our opportunity to negotiate fair raises and better access to benefits. We want to see you there! Read on for our list of demands and how to get involved.
The key issues we are fighting for are:
Equal Pay for Equal Work
Keeping Up with the Cost of Living
Raises for Length of Service
No More Unpaid Work
Benefits We Can Use
Increased Onboarding & Inclusion

We will be bargaining throughout Spring term, mostly on Fridays. Our goal is for those to be in-person sessions, with both in-person and online opportunities for you to come observe.
