response to letter from SHARE members about the COVID Appreciation bonus:
- Management outlined other issues of importance to SHARE members that UMass Chan has addressed during the pandemic: comp time for essential employees, non-essential employees sent home with pay, retention bonuses and market adjustments for some titles
- SHARE team agreed that UMass Chan did address those issues, in fact we negotiated about a lot of them, but that the pay adjustments and retention bonuses were addressing a shared need to attract and retain staff in a few titles that were in crisis, not a reward for SHARE members’ hard work and sacrifice, and had no impact on the majority of SHARE members, so those things don’t really answer the question about the bonus
