DRC unanimously recommends tentative agreement

The Departmental Representative Council (DRC) voted unanimously (30-0) tonight to recommend that the membership of the FA approve the tentative agreement made with the SIUC administration. A general membership meeting to discuss the agreement is scheduled for November 28, with voting to take place on November 30.  This strong endorsement by the DRC is another indication of the substantial progress made in this agreement. The agreement is already posted on the bargaining page on this site (scroll to the bottom for the latest info); further help in interpreting the agreement, including a summary of changes since the last agreement, should be posted by tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
