Contract Education and Local 33 Update

Contract Education Meetings

Thousands of Local 34 members have participated in
conversations about our new contract!

Across campus we have been having informal contract education caucuses. These meetings, usually during a lunch hour, are a great way to get to know our contract.

Would you like to know about our job security language? Would you like to calculate your raises for the next five years? Do you have any questions about health care benefits? Would you like to know how to make sure we keep winning great contracts for years to come?

If you’d like to attend a caucus, please reach out to the Local 34 committee person in your department, or call the union office at (203) 624-5161.
