We want to hear your voice!

Hello GEA Unit A Members:
 
I know it seems like we just finished our last negotiations, but it's "that" time again.  We will be negotiating much of the rest of this year and hope to have a contract before the current contract runs out in August.
 
Please take a moment to let us know what issues are of particular importance to you.  We will leave space for you to elaborate.  As always, PLEASE reach out to your building reps and / or to one of us on the Executive Committee as well.  We like to hear from you and our goal is to hammer out a contract that works well for everyone.
 
Thanks,
.
The GEA Executive Committee
  -  Jim Duggan, President
  -  Bill Brown, Vice President
  -  Val Zeh, Treasurer
  -  Sarah McNamara, Membership Chair
  -  Hannah Sullivan, Secretary
  -  Karen Leis,  ESP Representative

Question Title

* 6. Given the uncertainty of funding from the state, and the early stages of the Barr Foundation grant (which could change the game for Gateway financially), what do you think the term of our contract should be?  Keep in mind that there are many factors affecting this decision, and not all are under our control.  Generally, we've found that longer-term contracts work in our favor, but these are interesting times.
