The President wants to meet with all involved entities and he discussed the idea of organizing a UNMH Staff Council similar to the Council s set up at some branch campuses. The President will give us a decision at the first of the New Year. A concern noted at the meeting is acceptance of the Staff Council by unions in the consolidated hospitals. He reminded the group that when the legislature approves an increase it is only based on the legislative funding for salaries. Rudy Gallegos received all his 646 hours of sick leave with the help of Raqui Martinez.
