Bargaining Update

5/2/2025

Dear Colleagues,

Just a quick update on the status of contract bargaining - We have been meeting with admin every week or two and having some fairly productive discussions as of late. We have additional meetings scheduled for May 7 and May 14, and an all-day session scheduled for May 15. We are hopeful that we can reach a tentative agreement by the end of this semester, but a lot depends on what happens at the May 7 session, in which admin has promised to give us a counter-proposal on salaries and related financial benefits (Article 26). Stay tuned for a more substantive update once we have those numbers from admin.

In solidarity,
