We are not invisible!
We are UMASS Boston!
Settle a fair contract with Classified Staff Union now!

Dear UMass Boston Board of Trustees and Chancellor Suárez-Orozco:

We are the foundation of UMB.  Without the classified staff, nothing moves at UMASS Boston.   Yet, for many years and during this time we've always been the LAST union members to be invited to the negotiation table and the last to settle.  We stand in UNION SOLIDARITY to fight for what’s owed to us.  Administration has settled contracts with the faculty, professional staff and other units of employees at UMB.  

We, the undersigned members of the UMASS Boston community, call on the UMASS Boston Board of Trustees and Chancellor to settle a fair contract now with the Classified Staff Union that provides a livable wage.
