Description: 
The possibility of contract givebacks and the importance of the U.S. Senate election

 

Welcome Back all,

 

We hope your break was refreshing as we all have a lot to pay attention to in the coming semester.  Finances are a great concern, and the MSP has been asked to reopen our contracts for potential give-backs (see attached letter).

 

We also have an extremely important special election coming up for the US Senate.  This race is close and has enormous political implications.  Please get out and vote next Tuesday and encourage everyone you know to do likewise.

 

We also encourage you to participate in GET OUT THE VOTE efforts, and one possibility is to participate in a phone bank sponsored by the MTA in Holyoke.  MSP is hoping to be present there Sunday, January 17 between 2 and 6 PM, and Monday, Jannuary 18 between noon and 4 PM.  The phone bank is at 55 Bobala Rd, Suite 3 (413-535-2415).  You can find directions at http://www.massteacher.org/inside/offices/offices_holyoke.cfm.  Please RSVP to MSP if you want to carpool from Amherst.

 

Randall Phillis, MSP President
