May Contract Negotiations Bulletin Update Available

 

In our attempt to keep members as informed as possible during this protracted negotiations process, we’ve tried to update the negotiations link on our website as frequently as possible. Due to the nature of negotiations, there are periods when there is activity occurring at the table, but concrete results cannot be reported on, for a variety of reasons. As you will see with this update, which is brief, we are at an extremely crucial stage in negotiations. Much is occurring, but we cannot – as of yet – report the details. Rest assured, there is progress being made.

To log into this password protected “Members only” section of the UUP website,  you need your New York State ID number and your agency code. Here is how to find that information:

1) Log onto SOLAR. Under “For Employees”, click on “Payroll and Compensation.”

2) Click “View Paycheck”.

3) Click on any paycheck date and a PDF of a pay stub will pop up.

-New York State ID number is in top center, labeled as “NYS EMPLID”. Note that only the last 5 digits are used as the UUP login ID.

-Department ID is in upper right corner, labelled as “Agency Code”

For those of you who want to take a deep dive into the history of negotiations, previous updates are also available on the same webpage.
