Dear UCE Members:

 

Welcome Back!  The Officers and I would like to wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.

 

As you may know we will begin contract negotiations in February.  The Executive Committee and the Officers have reviewed all the suggestions we have received and are finalizing our package.  The Union and the College will be meeting throughout the Spring semester and hopefully we will be able to reach a settlement.

 

We will be communicating with our membership throughout the semester so that you can be informed as to our progress.

 

As always we thank you for your confidence and support.

 

The reverse side lists a calendar of meetings for the coming semester.  Please check our website for updates on these events.

 

We look forward to a productive semester and we appreciate your continued participation.

 

                                                            In Solidarity,

 

                                                            Juliette J. Romano

                                                            President
