Already heard a few people implying PSU did something nice for us. WE WON those bargaining demands by tirelessly organizing, holding our ground, getting community involved. Everyone who observed bargaining, came to a meeting, made phone calls, made signs… WE did this! @PSUFA_AFT

BARGAINING UPDATE! Late yesterday evening, the PSUFA Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with PSU Administration.
This will be proposed to PSUFA Membership in the coming days once contract language has been settled, and Members will need to vote to ratify or reject.
As we continue to fight for a fair contract and equal pay for equal work, it's essential we ensure our members are on the same page. Come join PSUFA members at one (or both!) of the All-Member Bargaining Status Town Halls on Sep. 21st & 26th. RSVP here: https://t.co/OA11MRIPNo
Our bargaining efforts with PSU are moving into mediation next week after months of negotiation. Even if you've been observing regularly and following our bargaining recaps, you may still have questions about the process, or thoughts you'd like to share with other PSUFA members.
In our most recent bargaining session—our last before going into mediation—PSU is STILL dragging their feet in meeting our demands for equal pay for equal work. Read all the details in our Bargaining Recap, with a full comparison of exchanged proposals: https://t.co/Ze7O1t8rwS
