6th Bargaining Update

Dear Campus Community,

We had a productive sixth bargaining session with the administration. We have a tentative agreement on a Health and Safety article, 
which protects the rights of faculty to require masks in their classrooms and enshrines the right to teach up to 30% of each class online
 for the duration of the contract. We now have the ability to better protect the immunocompromised members of our community; ourselves, 
our families, and our students.
  
We are close to a tentative agreement on faculty development grants, and we had discussion and made progress on protecting our members' 
access to health benefits.

Best,
The Union Bargaining Team
