FAMCO and OPEIU leaders, Johanna Foster and Holly Davis, have published a letter to the editor in The Outlook, Monmouth University’s campus newspaper, addressed to Monmouth University President Leahy on the employee health benefits currently under negotiations. President Leahy has said, at recent campus events, that campus health and wellness are major issues for him this school year, but with the administration bowing out of bargaining sessions this week, and their general lack of preparedness at the last session, that claim is still just a sound bite.

Holly and Johanna’s letter speaks to the needs of the nearly 400 employees they represent who, along with Monmouth students, have been through a pandemic and now face inflation on top of the health and wellness concerns that predated, came out of, or were exacerbated by the pandemic. President Leahy and his administration cannot ignore these realities. Students, faculty, and staff all need good healthcare, and Monmouth University, as the health insurance provider, is directly responsible for the quality of care faculty and staff can receive.
