UFEA Bargaining Update: August 18, 2016

August 18, 2016 by UFEA

Tonight’s bargaining session with the District, which lasted about 5 hours, was productive in the sense that we finally persuaded the District to back down from a number of their proposals that would have required concessions on the part of members. We still have more work to do to be ready to bring back a contract that recognizes the realities of the District and is fair to members, but we are encouraged by the progress and appreciative of the support and solidarity of members.

Please take a few moments to watch the brief update from Karl. We will meet as a bargaining committee next Monday and will have more to share with members following that meeting.
