Your refusal to pay earned back wages - Results: Poor staff morale, future labor strife, employee attainment decline. Brand tarnished. Be fair. Thanks.

Please negotiate in good faith and abide by the contract.

I never imagined having to deal with this sort of petty nonsense over such a minimal and long-overdue pay increase! It's just insulting, especially considering the long hours we are all expected to work and the lack of sufficient support staff!

Please fund our raises and retros. We work hard to support the University and the students.

It's harder to compete with other institutions in hiring top faculty candidates when they hear about how our contracts are not being honored.

Please honor our settled union contracts and make good on honoring our negotiated wage increases. Do what is right and do it now.

The need to battle for raises that were promised previously is absurd. It will create challenges for the university in attracting and retaining talented employees, if the administration continues to withhold our pay.

We deserve the pay that was promised us. I don't know what else to say, because I can't believe this is even a question. We are the backbone and the heart of the University, don't forget. Admin is there to enable the University to operate - but WE are the ones pouring our blood, sweat, tears, intellect, experience and creativity into teaching and research.

Management should honor the agreement and commitment they made to their employees. A Deal is a Deal.

The constant cycle of having to battle with the legislature over honoring commitments is like weeding - it comes with sickening regularity.

It is appalling to me that we seem to go through this every contract cycle. The union, administration and Government need to figure out how to work together rather than adversaries. The current status of showboating by all parties leads to many of our best people leaving every time we go through this. In the end it severely weakens the status and growth of UMass.

You need to honor all settled union contracts and pay all negotiated wage increases IMMEDIATELY.

This may seem to concern a small amount of money, but it will make a difference to junior faculty and librarians.

It is unconscionable to play bluffing games with the legislature with no risk to individual Board members!

Please sign soon. I could get more money at another University but I prefer to stay here at UMASS.

The President gets a raise, then leaves. We're still here. What's wrong with this picture?
