Staff-Appointed Bargaining

In 2020, the staff-appointed unit voted to freeze their contract for one year due to the pandemic.  In May 2021, the Local signed an agreement with a 1% increase retroactive to July 1, 2020.   While the Local has been negotiating a first agreement for the Residence Dons’ Unit and a renewal agreement for the Casual Unit, your Staff-appointed bargaining committee has also been busy.  We held a town hall in June to relaunch bargaining, sent out the survey in July and held discussion circles on equity issues in August.  Your committee has been reviewing all of this information as we put together bargaining proposals based on your priorities. We have report back town halls planned for November 23and 24 and will be doing in person pop up events on all three campuses in late November and December. We will have bargaining dates with the University soon and will keep you posted on how you can support the bargaining campaign in upcoming newsletters.
