And that is the point…….one of which I tried to make with Jason Ryan. There are no leaders of the movement (as he might put it). There are facilitators. We, the faculty need to have meetings, we the faculty need to write a constitution, we the faculty need to ELECT the Executive committee….by VOTE. WE didn’t sign that last e-mail. Jason Ryan transcribed our names from letters our letter of support. No one on that letter is a representative….only a supporter of the process. The people involved in organizing the informational meetings, myself included, are again facilitators to the process. Someone must do so, no? All faculty who wish to be involved in the drafting of the constitution, will be involved. All faculty will vote on the constitution, all faculty will vote for elected officers, all faculty will vote on how to set dues! It is a wholly democratic and open process.
Please attend the meetings if you can. If you can’t, please go to the website for information. Until we have a full fledge chapter, we don’t have resources. As we’ve said all along…the union is the collective WE. No one is being excluded. Be involved.

Subject: RE: General Faculty Meeting
I don’t understand. Aren’t we ALL now AAUP Faculty Association members? I certainly didn’t vote for any representative of my interests. When did the PhD’s and MD’s who signed the last email have a meeting to elect spokespeople????

Subject: FW: General Faculty Meeting
Dear Colleagues:
I am writing to solicit your support in making two important changes to the upcoming union meetings:
- The union organizational meetings next week should be video recorded and posted online. We have the technology to do this at UCONN. It is done every week for medical grand rounds (http://mediasite.uchc.edu/Mediasite41/Catalog/pages/catalog.aspx?catalogId=a4c52db4-bb58-46e4-8d78-796c73c76f89). Many faculty members will be unable to attend next week. We have faculty spread out from Simsbury to Farming, in clinics, labs, and operating rooms. To include only those who can make the meetings in person will exclude far too many of us from such a vital task. At a minimum, the meetings should be transcribed, and conducted with PowerPoint slides that can be posted online.
- Man of the future meetings should be conducted via the internet. Instead of a meeting in person, we can set up a blog. Groups (such as the critical constitutional writing group) can post thoughts and replies as they build consensus. Voting can be done via email. This will allow everyone to be involved, not just those with free time to attend meetings.
I have made both of these requests to David Dorsky, who heads the AAUP Faculty Association. This is the 29-member group, backed by the national AAUP (http://www.aaup.org/aaup), that has been sending us emails from @info.aaup.org. The other members are listed below. They have elected not to sign their names to the association emails but I feel we must know who they are since they are organizing the union for now. Speaking for the group, Dr. Dorsky tells me the above requests cannot be honored due to lack of resources. Essentially, he says they lack the time to arrange these things. I find this hard to believe given all the effort that went into the unionization vote. Plus, the national AAUP has large resources to devote to this effort.
As we saw with the polling last week, every vote counts. Participation must be maximized or a small group will end up representing all of us. Remember that the union will set dues which are mandatory. These may result in a decrease in our salaries of up to several thousands of dollars per year. If the union is effective, there will be a return on this investment. But we all need to participate.
Please reply to this email or directly to the AAUP Faculty Association members if you would like to see the above changes implemented.
Respectfully,
Jason Ryan

Dear Doctor Jason W. Ryan,
Now that the election is complete and the results are in, the process of organizing our faculty for the purposes of collective representation needs to be initiated. To begin this process, we are calling for a series of meetings to exchange information, solicit questions and comments and most importantly encourage the active participation of faculty in the steps leading to collective representation and bargaining.
The first meetings will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 5:00 pm in the Massey Auditorium and Tuesday, December 8 at 7:00 am in the Keller Auditorium. At these meetings we will discuss the development of a constitution and the organization of medical clinical, dental clinical, research and education working groups to identify the concerns and needs of faculty and ensure that the constitution and the collective bargaining process reflects those concerns and needs.
This is now our organization and our opportunity to express ourselves for both our own issues and those of the institution. We need your involvement, no matter how you voted, to make this process work.
Participate in an agenda building working group. Sign up for a working group at the meeting or at Faculty Association WebSite
UCHC AAUP Faculty Association
