The UFF bargaining team met with the Board of Trustees team on Wednesday Aug 28th and made progress on several open issues.

The teams agreed in principle on the text and wording for the Domestic Partner Benefit policy, which you can view here on the 2013 bargaining status page.

The BOT team responded to UFF’s salary proposal.  After caucusing, the UFF team proposed a “grand bargain” to close several remaining issues (including salaries) and sign off on the 2013-2016 contract.  Some of these remaining issues include: faculty relationships with students under their supervision, evaluations of department chairs, and benefits (including domestic partners).
