Tentative Agreement Ratified

The final vote on ratification of the Tentative Agreement has been tallied. With 64% of ballots returned, it passed overwhelmingly:

Total	416	376	40
%		90.38%	9.62%

This was no doubt a very difficult vote for the membership to cast--it's a terrible thing to have to vote to endorse a pay cut. We must make sure that the University and OUS realize what a sacrifice this was so they can repay our goodwill down the line once the financial crisis has passed.

Thanks all who worked on this--
