Pay the raises

I bargained in good faith, as did the University, I believed. Honor the agreement fully.

Mr. President, A deal is a deal! Honor our raises please. Carolyn Safarik

Mr. President, Please honor our raises. We are the backbone of the University. We work hard to honor our obligation as U-Mass workers. Please reciprocate! Carmen Rosa RN BSN MPH

The money you will save by cultivating loyal employees by fair and respectful treatment will far outweigh the money spent on raises. Think about it.

Please honor our contract and pay the cost of living raises.

We work hard,and deserve our raises that were promised us. Lets get this done!!!!

Honor ALL settled contracts. Honor the work we all do to support Massachusetts commitment to access quality higher education.

President Caret made sure he got his raise -- now the staff that make the UMass system possible deserve theirs as well.

"Pay the raises" any thing more would be superfluous.

Working people matter, pay our raises!

The university makes it very difficult to work here: low wages and diminishing benefits, not fulfilling contract obligations, understaffing and lack of support, too many job responsibilities for time and resources available, at minimum a workplace where management is disrespectful and at worst where bullying and demoralizing tactics are rewarded. Sadly, the message the university sends its employees over and over again is: we don't care about you. Despite this, the vast majority of employees work very hard and are the backbone of the university.

Please honor our contract.

You got your raise it is only fair that we get ours.

Lead with integrity and honor the contract.

Please realize financial obligation to the hard working staff, Its increasing....

Please fund the raises that have been negotiated in good faith. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Caret: I would appreciate the trustees paying the retro and new raises for PSU unit A as well as others that are patiently waiting. I work many hours each week, not complaining, and get paid for 37.5. I do this for the betterment of my department and the University at large. The right thing is to fund all the raises that were negotiated in good faith. Not doing so only sheds a negative light on yourself as well as the entire board of trustees. Thank you

Don't demoralize your employees. Don't harm the University's reputation. Fund the back pay now, please.

Please take care of this financial obligation to the people who work very hard to make sure UMass is of the highest quality.
