Bylaws
JOINT COORDINATING COMMITTEE (JCC) BYLAWS
The JCC is the legal entity that associates the MSP and the FSU (Faculty Staff Union) into one local union that spans two campuses: UMass Amherst and UMass Boston. The JCC is the body that bargains and submits our collective bargaining agreements for ratification and determines whether or not to submit grievances to outside arbitrations. MSP and FSU share JCC expenses including our bookkeeper, annual audits and payroll services.
MASSACHUSETTS SOCIETY OF PROFESSORS (MSP) BYLAWS
Although the MSP and FSU are affiliated with the JCC, the MSP runs its day-to-day affairs independently of FSU in order to ensure that the faculty and librarians on the Amherst campus receive representation best suited to their needs. MSP has its own bylaws to govern our organization on our campus.
