Dear USASistas:
Last night, Monday June 3, CWA 14177 and New Era reached a tentative
agreement on the contract over which we have been fighting. It is, to us, a
tremendous accomplishment, and we feel proud to have worked on what will
prove to be an historic strike and negotiations. There will be a Union
meeting on Thursday to distribute the tentative agreement for membership
review, and the ratification vote will be on June 21.
We owe you students a tremendously big thank you for all that you have done
on our behalf. We strongly believe that it is primarily through our
coalition that we have been able to bring New Era not only back to the
bargaining table, but also to a stance allowing for real negotiations. Your
work with us, and more so on scores of university administrations, has
brought this dispute to national prominence. I believe that this
accomplishment is OUR accomplishment. Now everyone knows not to mess with
CWA 14177, and to look over their shoulders for USAS, whose awareness spans
the globe and crosses a variety of important issues. You people are just
great, and we are amazingly proud of you. WE ARE NOT INDIFFERENT! OUR
GENERATION IS RISING UP! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Jason Kozlowski, CWA 14177 Secretary
