The University and staff union bargaining committees met on April 2, continuing negotiations on the initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented three counterproposals on Flexible Work Arrangements, Intellectual Property, and Seniority. The union presented three counterproposals on Career Advancement, Provisional Periods, and Layoffs. The parties exchanged proposals to revise a previous tentative agreement on Discipline and Discharge.  The parties reached a tentative agreement on Flexible Work Arrangements. A reminder that all the University’s proposals are posted online here.

Our next scheduled bargaining session is on April 14.
