The University and staff union bargaining committees met on May 21, continuing negotiations on an initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented four counterproposals on Seniority, Layoffs, Bargaining Unit Work and Management Rights. The University’s proposal on Bargaining Unit Work was conditioned on the acceptance of its prior Management Rights proposal. The union presented three counterproposals on Hours of Work, Layoffs and Seniority. A reminder that all the University’s proposals are posted online here.

The parties’ next scheduled bargaining session is on June 12.
