Bargaining Update #4

The Staff Union Bargaining Committee met with CWA via Zoom for a half day on July 29.

• The parties were able to reach a TA on the following items:

  •  Probationary Period: 6 month probationary period for all new hires.

  •  New Training and Development Committee. 

  • Improvements for the in-town Per Diem and Cell Phone Allowance

  • Monthly allowance for employees who do not have a workspace or office and work from home.

• We continue to discuss the framework for the elimination of two tiers in the contract and creating a path to regular full time for our members in campaign job titles. This is connected to a package proposal on a number of issues including Job Bidding, Tuition Reimbursement, Layoff, and the Temporary Employee Language.  We are still working through language issues with a number of these articles.  We continue to remain apart on the length of service required for those in campaign titles to earn regular-full-time status.   

• We are still having discussions with CWA regarding their hiring practices of Campaign Titles.

• The S/T office is slated to update the bargaining committee on outstanding car requests - an update to our members will follow.

• Our economic response is still pending, until we have more info on the APP.

• Our next scheduled meeting is August 19, 2022.
