Things to Know :

Use of University E-mail: Did you know you have the right to e-mail and basic communications on campus? In an important decision for UC union members, the state Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) has issued a final decision stating that the University's policies on phone and email use are illegal and unreasonable, ordering UC to immediately "cease and desist." The decision means that employees may use telephones and electronic mail for union-related matters without fear of discipline-at least until UC formulates some policies which are "reasonable" under the law. Be aware that UC does read e-mail, it is not your private correspondence.

Bargaining: TX and RX bargaining continues... if you'd like to be on an e-mail list to receive updates regarding the TX and RX bargaining please send your e-mail address to tmastres@earthlink.net
