The University and the staff union bargaining committees met on Dec. 18 to resume negotiations on the inaugural collective bargaining agreement.

The University introduced counterproposals on Health and Safety and Flexible Work Arrangements. The union presented proposals on Seniority and Layoffs as well as counterproposals on Career Advancement and Positions.

Significant progress was made on the four counterproposals discussed: Health and Safety, Flexible Work Arrangements, Positions, and Career Advancement.

The parties will meet next on Jan. 13, 2026, to continue consideration of these counterproposals among others.
