VP Dooley has recorded a video message to update the ANR family about the governor’s state budget proposal, progress in our restructuring around the Strategic Vision, and advocacy.

Please view the video at your convenience above or at http://ucanr.org/dooley020810. A transcript is available at http://ucanr.org/Dooley02-2010.cfm

Want to share your views about UC pension and retiree health benefits? You can do so via a short, confidential, online survey.

Just go to the Future of UC Retirement Benefits Web site between Feb. 5 and March 1 and select the survey button. The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and all answers are confidential.

Your responses will help the President’s Task Force on Post-employment Benefits better understand employee preferences about financially sustainable options for future retirement benefits.

UC and the unions are currently discussing how represented employees might participate in the survey. In the meantime, represented faculty and staff should direct their comments and opinions to their union leadership.
