STOP UMASS JOB CUTS! STAND-OUT @ WHITMORE RAMP on MONDAY, MARCH 6, 12:45PM

UMass Administrators have revealed plans to cut state jobs under the guise of protecting employee pensions—and campus unions are fighting back. Under their plan, over 100 state employees would lose their state jobs and pension eligibility. These employees would have to apply for positions doing the same work at the UMass Amherst Foundation, a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Rather than honor the contract and earlier agreements with the unions, UMass Administrators have exposed their true intention: to eliminate state jobs and benefits for over 100 employees, privatize the work to avoid public oversight, and upend the lives of these workers and their families in the process. We need your support now.
