The University and staff union bargaining committees met on Sept. 1, continuing negotiations on an initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented four counterproposals on Layoffs, Bargaining Unit Work, Job Changes, and Provisional Period. The union presented two new proposals on Pay Grades and Severance. The union rejected the University’s counterproposal for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Compensation for FY 2027, indicating that it would address compensation as part of their overall economic package at the bargaining table. A reminder that you can view all the University’s proposals on this site.

The parties’ next scheduled bargaining session is on Sept. 22.
