Assault on Teachers' Unions

Heads Up! National Campaign Against Teachers' Unions Starts March 11, 2008 From AFT LeaderNet 3/7/08: On Tuesday, March 11th, the Center for Union Facts (CUF) will launch what the organization describes as "an unprecedented, $1 million advertising assault on teachers unions". CUF will be airing commercials on CNN and Fox News, and buying full-page ads in the New York Times and USA Today. The attack ads will promote its campaign Web site. "We suspect these ads, which focus on union actions in 20 school districts across the country, also will include distortions about tenure, claims that unions oppose worthwhile school reforms, and outright lies about what we do", says AFT president Edward J. McElroy. "The charges will be vicious and outrageous, and the ads may result in news coverage, particularly from anti-union media outlets. The AFT is currently developing its own attack plan," McElroy says, and will have additional information available shortly. Help fight back.

Three AFT Faculty Unions Endorse HR 676 - A Single-Payer Health Care System

HR 676 would institute a single payer health care system in the U.S. by expanding a greatly improved Medicare system to every resident. HR 676 would cover every person in the U. S. for all necessary medical care including prescription drugs, hospital, surgical, outpatient services, primary and preventive care, emergency services, dental, mental health, home health, physical therapy, rehabilitation (including for substance abuse), vision care, chiropractic and long term care. HR 676 ends deductibles and co-payments. HR 676 would save billions annually by eliminating the high overhead and profits of the private health insurance industry and HMOs. HR 676 currently has 88 co-sponsors in addition to Rep John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI). For the bill's text and its co-sponsors, click here. HR 676 has been endorsed by 358 union organizations in 48 states including 94 Central Labor Councils and Area Labor Federations and 32 state AFL-CIOs (KY, PA, CT, OH, DE, ND, WA, SC, WY, VT, FL, WI, WV, SD, NC, MO, MN, ME, AR, MD-DC, TX, IA, AZ, TN, OR, GA, OK, KS, CO, IN, AL & CA). College faculty unions in three states have endorsed HR 676, legislation that would institute a single payer system in the U.S. In Anchorage, Alaska, the Representative Assembly of Local 4996, United Academics-AAUP/AFT, endorsed HR 676 reports local President Carl Shepro. The local represents 950 faculty members on the three major campuses of the University of Alaska system. In New York, Local 3998, Long Island University Faculty Federation, NYSUT/AFT, has also endorsed HR 676 reports local President Ed Donahue. In Philadelphia, AFT Local 2026 endorsed HR 676. Local 2026 represents 1,300 faculty and staff at the Community College of Philadelphia. Local 2026 Co-presidents, John Braxton and Karen Schermerhorn, said after the vote, “Health insurance was the single largest issue in our bargaining for our contract last year. We came away with our health benefits largely intact, but we know it will be even harder next time to negotiate a contract without health insurance take-aways. This country needs to catch up with the rest of the industrialized world and treat health insurance as a benefit that all citizens deserve, and take the responsibility away from individual employers and individual unions.” For further information, a list of union endorsers, or a sample endorsement resolution, contact: Kay Tillow All Unions Committee For Single Payer Health Care--HR 676 c/o Nurses Professional Organization (NPO) 1169 Eastern Parkway, Suite 2218 Louisville, KY 40217 (502) 636 1551 Email nursenpo@aol.com The above information comes to us from http://www.unionsforsinglepayerhr676.org/ 01/24/08

IBHE Chair Urges New Direction in Education Priorities

College is key to meeting workforce, state economic needs, Hightman says. CHICAGO – The state needs to change its thinking, broaden its vision, and act more strategically if it is to meet the education and workforce needs of its citizens in a rapidly changing global economy, Carrie Hightman, Chairwoman of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, said today. Hightman, addressing a statewide conference of the Illinois Association of Graduate Schools at Loyola University Chicago, told the audience that higher education must have a more prominent role in state education and economic priorities for Illinois to sustain a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. http://www.ibhe.org/Media%20Center/2007/HTM/1022_NewDirection.htm

Campus Equity Week October 29 - Nov. 9, 2007

AFT focuses on two themes: 1) The AFT is releasing a new statement on academic freedom this fall and in conjunction with that release will be sponsoring Academic Freedom Forums on campuses around the country to encourage discussions about how to ensure academic freedom rights for all faculty, whether full-time or part-time, tenured or not. 2) The AFT will also work with AFT affiliates to promote the AFT Faculty and College Excellence Campaign, which is a national campaign to promote fair and equitable treatment of contingent faculty as well as to establish a better balance between the number of full-time, tenured faculty and contingent faculty. http://www.aft.org/higher_ed/cew/

AFT Executive Council Endorses Clinton

The AFT executive council on Oct. 3 endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, citing her proven ability to advance our nation's key priorities and her bold plans for a stronger America. "Our members have told us that they want a leader they can trust to strengthen public education, increase access to healthcare, promote commonsense economic priorities and secure America's place in the world," said AFT president Edward J. McElroy. "Hillary Clinton is that leader."

Illinois Ethics Code Enforcement

UPI Releases Warning About Ethics Code Procedures (from Marsha Katz forwarded from UPI People and Issues Magazine) While most of us learned about the 2003 Illinois Ethics law by the “Ethics Training” which has been required of all state employees, a few recent events have signaled a much more serious and potentially threatening aspect of the law. The statute provides for the creation of a State Ethics Commission with jurisdiction over potential conflicts of interest or corrupt practices within the Executive branch of state government. As a result, numerous Executive Inspectors General have been appointed to investigate such allegations. More than one instance of these officers approaching university employees led to the request for legal advice. Stephen Yokich from the firm of Cornfield and Feldman, which represents UPI and its members in labor law matters, provided the memorandum below to advise us of our rights. In 2003, the General Assembly created the Office of Executive Inspector General. While the prime purpose of the Office is enforce compliance with the new State Ethics statute, the legislation itself gives the Inspector Generals the authority to investigate “waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance” by state officials and employees. The office has a staff of investigators, mostly retired law enforcement types. The Office does not have the power to investigate anonymous allegations or allegations which are more than a year old. The statute allows an investigator for the Office to “request” information and interviews. It also gives the Office the power to issue administrative subpoenas to compel testimony and the production of documents. If a subpoena is issued, the person responding to the subpoena may assert any rights or privileges available under federal and state law. [If an official or employee refuses to cooperate with a subpoena, the Office may recommend that the employee or official be disciplined or discharged. If the University decides to follow that recommendation, the official or employee has available any rights guaranteed by state and federal law. Id. Any discipline of an employee as a result of a recommendation must comply with the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement covering the employee. If the Office determines that the law has been violated, there is an extensive statutory procedure for litigation of the alleged violation. The Office has taken an expansive view of its authority to interview employees and demand documents. Employees, though, should be cautious, especially if they have been requested to produce documents that they believe are confidential. The statute allows the Office to “request” interviews and documents. That language means the following: The office does not have the right to place an employee under arrest. The Office does not have the right to physically threaten or intimidate an employee. The Office cannot order an employee to appear for an interview or to hand over documents. The Office does not have the right to discipline an employee for not agreeing to the request for an interview or for documents. The employee has the right to terminate the interview if he or she desires. The employee has the right to place conditions on the interview, such as having a lawyer or a union representative present or tape recording the interview. The investigator may threaten an employee that it is illegal to refuse to cooperate and that the Office may recommend discipline or discharge for such lack of cooperation. These threats apply only to the situation where an employee has failed to respond to a valid administrative subpoena. Moreover, it is up to the University to decide whether to proceed with a recommendation of discipline or discharge. If the University proceeds, it must follow the provisions of our contract. If the employee exercises these rights and the Office obtains an administrative subpoena, the employee should consult a lawyer as soon as possible to determine what statutory rights he or she has in response to the subpoena. Before beginning an interview, the employee should ask three questions: 1. Can the statements made in the interview lead to criminal charges against hm or her? 2. Can the statements made in the interview lead to disciplinary action? 3. Is the investigator aware of the collective bargaining agreement that covers the employee and the employee’s rights under that agreement and under state and federal law? If the answer to the first two questions is “yes,” the employee is well advised to terminate the interview immediately and call for help. With respect to the third question, the law requires that inquiries of employees be “conducted with awareness of the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement that applies to the employees of the relevant State agency and with an awareness of the rights of the employees as set forth by State and federal law and applicable judicial decisions.” If the investigator answers that he is not aware of the contract and state and federal law, the employee is well advised to tell him that the law requires him to be aware of these things and to terminate the interview on that basis.

AFT and No Child Left Behind (NCLB)

AFT presses for research-based solutions to NCLB problems Many of UPI/GSU's faculty are involved in teacher preparation programs and administrator preparation programs. The following was just forwarded to UPI Webmasters from AFT's Communicators' Network: As the education community marked the fifth anniversary of the No Child Left Behind Act on Jan. 8, the AFT continues to press policymakers on our members' concerns about the law and to identify research-backed solutions. AFT president Edward J. McElroy reiterated the union's position on NCLB in a Jan. 5 message to AFT leaders, he noted that although the AFT supports the goals of No Child Left Behind—including high academic standards, meaningful accountability and well-qualified school staff—the "NCLB train has slipped off the tracks." See McElroy's press statement and letter to members of Congress. For more information on NCLB, visit the AFT Web site , which includes a link to NCLB: Let's Get It Right campaign blog and join the discussion. In addition, AFT Public Affairs (202/879-4458) is available to help AFT leaders with any questions regarding media coverage of NCLB's fifth anniversary.

Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision

Some Light For Some People The Windfall Elimination Provision of the Social Security laws have affected us for many years. We work for an employer (The State of Illinois) that does not withhold Social Security taxes from our salaries. There are only a handful of states in the U.S. that operate this way. The result is that for most of us, the pension we will get will likely reduce our Social Security benefits. However, if you have had employment outside your state job (outside GSU) you may have earned sufficient non-state employee income and paid Social Security Taxes on that income to have given you credit toward getting what you deserve. The problem is that you have to have earned what the Social Security Administration (SSA) calls a "substantial amount" in a year to get credit for that year. The "substantial amount" changes each year. The SSA has a chart that shows what "substantial amount" of earnings you must have earned outside of GSU to get credit for that year. If you reach 30 years of credit, your Social Security checks upon retirement are not reduced. The income level in any one year necessary to qualify varies from year to year. For example, if you worked at GSU in 1990 and earned additional outside income totaling $9525 or more, you would have qualified as earning the necessary "substantial earnings" for that year. Once you have reached 30 years of substantial earnings, you receive no penality for the job you held working for the State of Illinois (at GSU). The closer you get to that 30th year of substantial earnings the less your penality. For example, for 29 years of substantial earnings, your penality is only 5%. This is worth looking into, especially since many of us are on 10-month contracts. Those other 2 months provide an excellent opportunity to meet your goals each year. It is important to know how much outside income you must earn each year to have that year count for you. For 2006, the amount you must earn to have this year count as a "substantial earnings" year is $17475.00. So, if you are close to that, it might be worth the effort to work a few more weekends to make it. There are some members of Congress trying to do away with the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) because they understand how it discriminates against people in our situation. However, there are other members of Congress that argue that the WEP is fair because states are certainly allowed to pay higher-than-normal pensions to their state employee retirees to make up for the difference for what they will never get from Social Security. I don't believe Illinois has ever added money to the amount given to pensioners to make up for what pensioners lose because of not having Social Security Tax deducted from their pay and because of WEP. Also, it is unlikely that the WEP will be overturned in this present Social Security climate despite the good intentions of a few members of Congress. Here is where you can find the chart and the explanation of how it works. Don't be confused by the second chart showing a maximum of 90%. That 90% is only a part of a larger formula. 90% in that part of the formula is the maximum that anyone receives whether they fall under WEP or not. You may have heard some people argue that we shouldn't get Social Security because we don't pay into it. That would be true, but that is not the issue. The issue is that many of us have paid into Social Security throughout our life because of Social Security payments being deducted from our outside work. We don't even get paid our fair share from that amount. It is all because we work for the State of Illinois and because of the WEP of the Social Security law. Here is the official information and the chart(s).    You can phone the SSA toll free at : 1-800-772-1213. For the deaf and hard of hearing, call their TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.

UPI/GSU Membership Ratifies Agreement!

Agreement Ratified! Dear colleagues, The agreement between UPI and the administration passed with a 94% vote: 101 voted Yes; 7 voted No. Thank you for your support. It took a great deal of work, and I want to thank all of you. The negotiation team worked extremely hard, and so did all of the other support committees. You hopefully will see the 4% across the board increase in the last pay check of the year. It will be retroactive to August 31st. The equity portion will probably not occur until later. We will have that done as soon as possible. It also will be retroactive to August 31st. Thank you again for your support and patience. Marsha GSU/UPI Chapter President Governors State University University Park, IL 60466 (708) 534-4952 Here is the brief outline of the Agreement. The entire Agreement is posted below as ratified Highlights: The contract is for three years. The salary package is 5%, 5%, 6% which equals 16% over 3 years total plus PAI, Excellence, and promotion. The first year will be 4% across the board, + 1% equity. The second year's equity will between 1 and 1.5%. The third year will between 1 and 2%. The equity committee will be working on those issues starting next week. PAI will be $2500 a year (now $2400). Overload will be $600 (now $475). Voluntary overload is maxed at 20 cues. Degree completion rose to $2500. ASPs and Lecturers can earn senior status with $2450 boost; they must be rated highly effective 4 out of 5 years with a highly effective the last year. However they must maintain their highly effective levels or they can lose their senior status (but not the increase). The Annual Review for tenured faculty will remain substantially the same. The language has a minor change for clarification purposes... We did not get overload for ASPs, no work load reduction for Lecturers. However their merit increase went up to .75%. The requirement for attending graduation was thrown out. Status quo on grievance process was maintained. Language on travel was inserted. Retirees at half time can be bargaining unit members (Unit B). Here is the ratified Agreement.

UPI/GSU Negotiations Update

"In 2005, Illinois salaries were (only) 95.7 % of peer colleges and universities" . . . "Unlike Illinois, many institutions in other states participate in both a retirement system and contribute to Social Security. When faculty salary costs are combined with fringe benefit costs, total faculty compensation at public universities averages (only) 92.9% of peer group medians." -IBHE 2005 and 2004 reports- UPI/GSU Negotiations Team

November 27, 2006 Update: Agreement Ratified by a vote of 101 Yes; 7 No! November 10, 2006 Update: Tentative Agreement Posted! November 2, 2006 Update: Tentative Settlement Reached! Read the full update on an MS-Word file as of Thursday 11/2/06.   October 20, 2006 Update: Nothing is agreed to until the whole package is accepted. Read the full update on an MS-Word file as of Thursday, 10/20/06.   September 12, 2006 Update: Our negotiations team met throughout the summer and is advancing issues that emerged from our membership contract survey. Springfield has increased the GSU budget by 6.5 percent, but the administration thus far is unwilling to share the increase with the membership. Our team remains disappointed at this time by the administration’s response to many of our issues that are critical to an agreement. The existing contract has expired yet remains in effect until a new contract is agreed to or either side declares an impasse. Read the full update submitted by Nancy Shlaes. May 25, 2006 Update: The Faculty and Administration Teams met Thursday, May 25th. The two teams continue to negotiate proposed changes in contract language originally submitted last month by the Faculty to the Administration. In addition, the Faculty Team presented a proposal outlining Lecturer rank. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 8th. April 19, 2006 Update: The UPI/GSU Team and the GSU Board's Team met for the second time Wednesday, April 19th. As a result, the two teams have tentatively accepted 14 out of the 32 articles that make up the contract. The teams have agreed to meet at least weekly to negotiate the remaining articles of the contract. These negotiations will begin May 18th. During the interim, the teams will be meeting separately to review proposals.

Full-time/Part-time Faculty Ratio Poses Growing Threat

Seventeen delegates from the seven Illinois UPI schools represented us at the American Federation of Teachers convention July 19-23 in Boston. The main business of the meeting was debate and voting on resolutions, including several that rose up from the 2005 UPI House of Delegates last October. Representing GSU were Marsha Katz, Rachel Berg, and Edna Fry. One of the many events was a speech by Senator Ted Kennedy. Some of Kennedy's strongest comments were cast at the White House's handling of the No Child Left Behind Act, a law that Kennedy co-authored. "The current administration has shown itself to be faithless to the worthy goals behind the No Child Left Behind Act", he charged, blasting President Bush for underfunding NCLB by $53 billion since its enactment. And he said the White House revealed its real priorities just this week when it joined with Republicans in Congress to push for private school vouchers—only four days after its own Education Department published research showing the "private school advantage" is a myth. Also at the conference, full-time/part-time faculty ratio was noted as a continuing threat. AFT convention delegates directed that union to create a national campaign demonstrating the dangers represented by a full-time/part-time faculty ratio of 30:70. The focus will be on having legislation introduced at the state and federal level that both restores full-time faculty lines and provides equity for part-time faculty.

U.S. Limiting Free Speech?

The Supreme Court's decision last month that limits the free speech rights of public sector workers "will have a chilling effect on public employees all across this country," says the AFT executive council. In a resolution approved at its June 1-2 meeting in Washington, D.C., the council condemned the High Court's 5-4 decision in Garacetti v. Ceballos, handed down on May 30, that threw out a lawsuit from a Los Angeles deputy district attorney who was disciplined after he wrote internal memos raising questions about police conduct in a case. He was later denied a promotion and transferred to a job further from home. The ruling will have an effect on all public employees, including those in federal, state jobs, public hospitals and public schools and colleges. The decision may lead to placing unfounded limits on academic freedom in public colleges and universities, says the council. The decision "does a disservice to all American citizens who depend on quality essential government services," says the resolution. "When abuses occur in the public sector, government workers are usually the first to know and report them." As a result of this ruling, "public servants will no longer be protected for speaking out on the job and may be fired for bring abuses to the attention of a supervisor or for actions as basic as writing a memorandum."

Past UPI President Mitch Vogel Informs GSU of Continuing Pension Funding Problems

Mitch Vogel, President of The State University Retirement System (SURS)spoke at GSU on April 12th in Sherman Recital Hall. He focused on the problems our pensions face in the current political environment in Illinois. This event was co-sponsored by the UPI/GSU, SUAA, and the Civil Service Senate. Dr. Vogel described the past two years of inadequate state funding of or pension plan. That inadequacy forced SURS to self-fund the plan by withdrawing millions of dollars each year from SURS investments. He assured everyone that our pensions are currently secure because of SURS self-funding, but cautioned that continuation of inadequate state funding will severely affect future abilities of the system to assure pension payments to SURS membership.

State-wide Faculty Advisory Committee to the IBHE Pushes for Higher Ed. Funding
