Newsletter #9

This is the 9th edition. We are 278 strong.

As I continue to learn, newsletters are weird. Aside from USC ITS filters from quarantining my emails, there’s a general hit or miss factor. I found my newsletters in the “Promotions” folder (Gmail), and I know it’s going into other’s junk/spam folders.

Hopefully you’re still getting these. If you’ve shared this newsletter with anyone, check with them.

Staff Assembly Feedback Form

Last Friday (11/22/24), Staff Assembly voted on a resolution to prepare a formal statement in response to the changes in benefits. Part of that motion included discussion, where I asked that all relevant submissions made to the Staff Assembly feedback form be considered as it relates to our public statement.

This survey isn’t directly tied to Mt15atUSC, it is a place to share your thoughts and opinions. While Staff Assembly’s charge is to represent full-time benefits eligible staff, former employees can still contribute their thoughts via the link below.

Please be as descriptive and thorough as possible if you do choose to submit here:

Petition

If you missed the in-person event, please still respond to our petition (survey):

Call for 15-year letters

A member has expressed some interest in exploring our legal options. While my intent is to remain focused on our stories, I’m supportive of the exploration, and I’m happy to be a conduit.

If you have a copy of your 15-year letter, or other relevant policy documents, and you’re willing to share it, please email me at [email protected]. I’ll redact the appropriate information, and share it with those pursuing this.

Storytelling

We still only have 11 responses! Please let me know your thoughts so I can plan our next steps. I’ll need your stories to tell your stories…

Data and Documents (Archive)

I’ve closed down two of our early surveys, and I’ve shared the Petition Form responses to date. Your comments on these initial surveys will continue to help feed our social media campaign, but I just want to share data back with this group.

Thank you for your contributions on these surveys. They really help tell the story! Please keep engaging with them in the future!

I like that this newsletter is light on words from me (sort of), and filled with things for you.

Please continue to send new members here: https://forms.gle/psqRytYEmKqaVB1L9, keep spreading the word, and let me know how you’re feeling.

Fight On!
