4/16/25 UPDATE- DATE CHANGE:

We were just notified from PSU that the PDQ is not ready yet. The release date will now be 4/28/25 

Attention Technical Service Employees:

On April 28, 2025, an email will be sent on your PSU account to each Penn State Technical Service employee about completing a Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ). This PDQ is required for every Technical Service Employee to complete and will be done on the clock. There will be a three-week period to complete it.

This PDQ is very important in the new job evaluation process. The information gathered from these surveys will assist in writing new job descriptions. This is your chance to have a say about what duties you perform! From the information gathered, new job descriptions will be written.

We are working on developing a new evaluation plan. These new job descriptions along with the new evaluation plan will be combined to determine the grade of the job.

Your part will have a direct impact when the jobs are graded. This is why it is important that you thoroughly complete this PDQ. Take your time and answer the questions. If you have any questions, please call the Union Hall (814-548-1429) and speak to any Business Agent (Jon, Jesika or Adam)

PSU Commonwealth Campus Announcement

As you may have read today, 2/25/25, PSU announced its plan to do a study of closing some Commonwealth Campuses. Although we have been requesting information about this, as many rumors have been circulating- PSU had failed to provide us with any information until a phone call was made to Jon Light right after the release of this news article. I know our members have many questions. We do, as well. We will continue to press for the information and provide any updates we can as promptly as possible.

We will work diligently to ensure our contract is applied, and our members are protected.
