Bargaining Update

Our first meeting with the University took place on Monday, October 4. The first meeting set the bargaining protocol and scheduled regular meetings. The bargaining protocol is not contentious and we have already agreed to meet twice weekly. All that remains to be decided is the exact timing of meetings. We will continue with the planned schedule until bargaining is completed.

Once we have agreed on the protocol we will exchange proposals beginning first with matters of governance. We expect to be able to begin the exchange on October 8.

The Association’s bargaining team consists of Wendy Josephson (chief negotiator), James Currie, Richard Jochelson, Linda Dixon and Lisa McGifford. Daniel Draper is providing administrative support to the team.

The University bargaining team is led by Laurel Repski.
