If your department is currently without a Department Rep, and you would like to serve or nominate someone, please contact the MSP office at 545-2206 or msp@external.umass.edu.

Department Reps are a two-way link between the Executive Board and the membership. They help the union's leadership know what is of concern to members; they help with the flow of information; they may at times poll their members (or be polled by the Board) on particular questions, find people to testify at negotiations, or involve members in the work of the union.
