Tell RU Management: Close Offices When Classes Are Canceled for Safety

Rutgers University should close offices when classes are canceled. We feel it is reckless and irresponsible to require non-essential staff to report to work in dangerous conditions.

More than 700 URA members and faculty supporters have signed our petition, “Rutgers University should close offices when classes are canceled” at http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/blizzard in support of the URA grievance. If you have not yet signed, please do so and we will present the petition at the grievance hearing and possibly do another newspaper advertisement. If you had signed, use the “tell-a-friend” feature to ask your colleagues to sign as well.

The petition will be presented to Rutgers management to show how members feel about the decision to keep offices open even with classes cancelled and to support the union's position.
