The University and staff union bargaining committees met on Feb. 18 continuing negotiations on the initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented four counterproposals on Hours of Work, Job Changes, Layoffs, and Flexible Work Arrangements. The union presented three counterproposals on Flexible Work Arrangements, Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying, and Health & Safety, and resubmitted its prior proposal on Layoffs. The union also presented a new proposal on International Staff and an MOU on Safety from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A reminder that all the University’s proposals are posted online here.

The parties’ next scheduled bargaining session is on March 3.
