Please see this message from 1st VP Ivonne Hamm about this exciting and important training opportunity.

Please see this important message from AFT President Randi Weingarten.

Friday at noon we are crowding as many UConn folks as we can--employees, faculty, students--into the Legislative Office Building to send the message to our elected officials loud and clear: Come up with a state budget that works for working people and that doesn't threaten to decimate our University and shutter the state's only public academic medical center.

Click here for a summary of the Republican budget.

And please share. We need our members to know what the Republican budget really says and why the governor needs to veto it.

Tell the Governor to Veto an Anti-Worker Budget

In the wee hours of Saturday morning, the legislature unexpectedly passed a state budget package that, if signed into law, would be catastrophic for you, your family and your community. This two-year fiscal blueprint rolls-back collective bargaining rights, eliminates good jobs and hikes middle and working class taxes.

Click here to send a message to the governor urging him to follow-through with his pledge to veto this anti-worker budget.
