The University and staff union bargaining committees met on Nov. 10, continuing negotiations on the initial collective bargaining agreement.

The University presented three counterproposals on Overtime and Compensatory Time, Holiday Pay and Winter Recess, 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, and Bargaining Unit Work. The union’s package proposal was conditioned on the acceptance of all the proposals. The union also presented a counterproposal on Overtime and Compensatory Time. You can view all the University’s proposals on this site.

The parties’ next scheduled bargaining session is on Nov. 16.
