On August 28, 2020 we bid a congratulatory farewell to longtime Local 528, RI Council 94, AFSCME member Darlene Golomb.  Darlene worked for the University of Rhode Island for 32 years. As she enters a well-deserved retirement where she plans to spend more time with her husband, adult children and grandchildren I wanted to take a moment to thank her for all she has done for Local 528. 

Statements from Local 528 President Michael McDonald and RI Council 94 President J. Michael Downey regarding URI's closure of the W. Alton Jones Campus:

Michael McDonald - President, Local 528

 Brothers and Sisters,

I am sad to share the news that the University of Rhode Island notified employees on June 9, 2020 that the W. Alton Jones Campus will be closing. No timetable for closure has been provided at this time.

As the threat of COVID-19 continues to mount and to spread throughout the world it is important to remain vigilant and to practice proper preventative care to help avoid the spread of COVID-19 as well as other illnesses.  Please see the links below for additional guidance and information.
