UMass Boston Chapter
Professional Staff Union/MTA/NEA.
Our goal is to build a union which reflects the needs and desires of our own members and which connects those needs and desires to those of hundreds of thousands of other public education employees throughout Massachusetts. We strive for democratic and effective unionism, leadership accountability, and a forceful collective response to the widespread campaigns aimed at undermining public higher education and the staff and faculty who make it work.
