Fairness for Rutgers staff affected by Hurricane Sandy

The Issue

As Superstorm Sandy disrupted lives across New Jersey, Rutgers University cancelled classes and advised faculty and students to stay home.  But employees on Rutgers staff received confusing and conflicting messages about reporting to work. Now, we ask for fairness in compensating our time, compassion for those who are still trying to put their lives back together and  concern for our safety.  Staff are part of the community, not second class citizens.
