Bargaining for our 2013-16 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) resumes tomorrow.  Both teams hope to build on the productive momentum established in last week’s opening session.

UFF-FSU representatives will meet with President Barron, Provost Stokes, and other BOT representatives next week in a consultation meeting (see Article 2 of the CBA).
