From: Gantt, Pat

Subject: Budget Task Force Report
 
January 19, 2010
TO: CSUEU Board Members

I assembled a small budget task force of key committee chairs and officers to get some things started.  Below is a report of what we covered and started some work on.  I now ask that the Organizing, Communications, Legislative, Bargaining and Finance committee chairs share this with their committees for feedback.  The main goal is to provide and to collect as much information as we can.  There will be a BOD conference call in the near future once I get a copy of a resolution from the Legislative committee regarding the March 4th Public Education Rally.

I am also draft a letter to the Chancellor urging him that the restored funds be used to reduce the need for layoffs or furloughs in the next budget year.  Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or ideas. Here is the report:

State Budget, furloughs and layoffs as subjects.
