The University and staff union bargaining committees met on Aug. 12, continuing negotiations on an initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented two counterproposals on International Staff and University Child Development Center (UCDC). The union presented a package proposal consisting of counterproposals on Management Rights, Layoffs, Career Advancement, Work Effort Changes, Provisional Periods, Hours of Work, and Bargaining Unit Work. The union’s package proposal was conditioned on the acceptance of all the proposals. A reminder that you can view all the University’s proposals on this site.

The parties reached tentative agreements on International Staff and Health & Safety.

The parties’ next scheduled bargaining session is on Aug. 19.
