Dear Campus Community,
We've completed our fourth bargaining session with the Administration. Bargaining has continued to be collaborative and respectful. We've reached tentative agreement (meaning that barring extreme circumstances, these issues have been decided) on three additional articles: Non-discrimination, the labor-management committee, and management rights. The tentative management rights article includes effects bargaining, an important notion related to the understanding that any changes by the administration that have a noticeable effect on employees or working conditions need to be brought to the negotiating table going forward.
In this session, we made proposals related to: obtaining equity data, office space and support, and role in committee service. We also had fruitful discussion of several of our other in-progress topics.
Best,
The Union Bargaining Team (Brian Buckley, Patricia Cameron-Loyd, Deirdre Frontczak, Seiko Fuji, Maggie Levantovskaya, Natalie Linnell)
