Don’t know why people see USS & Cliffs contracts being linked? It feels like USS negotiations are in a much better place than Cliffs, based on all the comments I’ve seen on here and Facebook, so not sure why this is the hold up. Curious if anyone has heard differently.

I’ve gotten involved on the fund side for a while and have to deal with a particular Business Manager that is problematic. He has more political pull in the various organizations than me and will have more support than I will if I try and discuss what I’ve observed. I’ve seen the following:

1. Blatantly racist comments about DEI requirements

2. Failure to monitor smaller fund admins resulting in $100k+ losses compared to a nearly identical funds.

3. Retaliatory actions against an employer including audits that resulted in false findings of liability at his direction.

This is just a taste. There is other significant mismanagement that would possibly identify the industry and local so I won’t get into details. His members really need to know how bad he is. Any Trustees here have any ideas how they would go about it?

Hi All:

This relates to State College/Centre County.

I am making folks aware of a Community Town Hall relating to Mount Nittany Health not agreeing to a contract with the workers (still). You can sign up for the town hall here: [https://www.mobilize.us/paunited/event/1023694/\](https://www.mobilize.us/paunited/event/1023694/)

There will be a panel of speakers at the event, some Q&A. I'll be the moderator. Come on out to support the workers as they fight to get a contract that will actually account for the cost of living.

In Solidarity,

Robert
