NEIU UPI Picnic, Sunday, June 5, 12:00 – 3:00
@the Peace Fire Area by the GYM

We hope to see you this Sunday for food, and games and music. Please pass the word and join us for a celebration of solidarity.

Got lawn games? Bring ‘em! Got kids? Grab them and some of their friends!

Party planner Nanette Potee is talking three legged races: easier than negotiations and much more fun!

Watermelon and lots of other treats for those who would rather nibble than trip over each other!!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!!

In solidarity,

Mediation begins today and our team is optimistic about reaching a successful conclusion to these long negotiations. We appreciate all the words of support and appreciation offered by our colleagues and friends. We will do our best to negotiate a fair and good outcome for our members.

Please encourage your colleagues, friends and students to attend the Halloween Howl on Thursday from 2-4 pm. We all need some time to socialize, have fun and remember that we are a community dedicated to academic excellence and opening new horizons for our students.

In solidarity,

Your UPI negotiating team….
