Bargaining Update #5
The Staff Union Bargaining Committee met with CWA via Zoom for partial day sessions on August 19th, 23rd, and 24th.
- The parties were able to reach a TA on the following items: - Vacations: Increase of one week of vacation for everyone with less than 15 years of service. Additional clarification of language to comply with various state laws. 
- Reproductive and Gender Affirming Care Travel Reimbursement (up to $4000). 
 
- We have had positive discussions and movement on the SIF/Growth Fund Issue. In conjunction with this issue, we spent a lot of time over the last few days discussing the layoff article and incorporating SIF/Growth fund titles into this article. 
- We had dialogue with the Secretary/Treasurer's office over issues with Staff Car requests and are waiting for additional information from them over this issue. 
- CWA owes us a complete response to our economic proposal. 
- Our next bargaining session is September 7th. 
If you have additional questions, please reach out to your Executive Board Member or mobilizer.
