Greetings,

On Wednesday, June 10 at 3 PM on the Busch Campus, can you come with us to ask a few easy questions? For example: "How do you like work benefits, such as 8% yearly raises, quality health care, and family leave?" "Do you know how important strong TA/GA  membership in the union is to securing these benefits?"

Easy, right? And of course you know! You signed up as a union member because you KNOW we've secured great contracts these last few rounds only due to the record-high levels of TA/GA membership and involvement by... well, people like you. (Thanks!)

You also know that NOW MORE THAN EVER, with budget cuts looming amidst dire messages from Rutgers' central administration, we need a strong showing of union support to safeguard our contractual victories and protect our rights. Of course, membership forms don't sign themselves... but, then, all it really takes are a few easy questions.

Summer is the perfect time to shore up our numbers with a membership drive--so let's do it! Your friendly neighborhood Steering Committee will be out again this week on WEDNESDAY, June 10, visiting other TAs and GAs on campus and asking easy questions.

And naturally... we need help! Join us at 3pm in front of the main entrance to the Busch Campus Center, located on Bartholomew Road on the Busch Campus in Piscataway, NJ (here's a map: http://maps.rutgers.edu/building.aspx?id=44).

After the membership drive, we'll head on up to Evelyn's Restaurant and Bar, 45 Easton Avenue in New Brunswick for some cold drinks on a warm summer day. (If it rains, we'll go to Harvest Moon Brewery and Cafe instead, which is at 392 George Street in New Brunswick).

(If you're just too busy for the membership drive, you're still welcome to join us at Evelyn's.  We'll be easy to spot. Just look for all the blue and red union shirts--you can't miss us!)

That's:

SUMMER ORGANIZING: Wednesday, June 10, 3pm @ main entrance to the Busch Campus Center on Bartholomew Road, Busch Campus. Here's a link to a map: http://maps.rutgers.edu/building.aspx?id=44
