We encourage you to call Provost John Coleman’s office at 217-333-6677 in support of UIUC’s Building Service Workers and Food Service Workers.

1. If an office worker answers the phone, be respectful. Ask to speak with Provost John Coleman. If they tell you he’s not available, ask to leave a message for him.
2. If the call goes to voicemail, leave a message.
3. Script:
   • “Hello, my name is ____ and I’m ___(position or connection with UIUC community).
   • I’m calling in support of our Building Service Workers and Food Service Workers. They keep the university running, yet they are paid 20% less than workers at comparable institutions.
   • Will you intervene on behalf of our essential workers and direct your team to offer a fair wage proposal?
   • Thank you for your time.

Effective August 16, 2024, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has agreed in the new union contract to provide computers for specialized faculty.

Some colleges, such as LAS, already have existing programs to provide computers. Some other colleges in the University have no such program, and faculty were expected to use their own funds to purchase a computer.

If you’re in a college such as FAA or Gies that has never provided you a computer, you may now contact your unit IT office and request one.

If you’re a new hire (in any college or unit of the University), you may also request a computer with your unit IT office.

These computers will be supplied by the University, and will not come out of any professional development funds provided by your unit.

If you previously received a computer from the University, but it has been 5 or more years since your computer was replaced, you may contact your unit IT office and request to have your computer replaced or refurbished.

Article VII, Section B of the new collective bargaining agreement states as follows:

“In addition, a work computer appropriate for the work-related duties assigned shall be provided at the time of an initial hire to a title covered by this Agreement and shall be refreshed at least every five (5) years in accordance with the State of Illinois and University procurement rules.”

With any questions, you may contact the Executive Committee of the Non Tenure Faculty Coalition Local #6546 via email at ntfc6546[at]gmail.com.
