What's happening with the contract?

 

If there is negotiation, it must be rooted in mutual respect and concern for the rights of others.

Negotiations Updates

Professional contract negotiations have been completed and we have Tentative Agreements in place. Ratification will take place during the union portion of the convocation if the document is ready. Otherwise, a special meeting will be held to ratify the contract. If this special meeting is needed, a notification will be emailed to members. Next on the agenda are the Cafeteria and ESP/Therapy Assistants contracts.

Professional contract negotiations are almost complete. Updates will be given at the Spring General Meeting on May 26, 2022, at the Burkland School. The meeting starts at 3:45. ESP and Cafeteria negotiations are up next. Look for an email soon.

May/2022

What is Interest Based Bargaining?

IBB is a collaborative approach to resolving labor and management disputes. Through the process, parties proactively identify durable solutions to outcomes at the bargaining table. Agreements are based on mutual and individual interests rather than positions. This approach emphasizes problem solving and enables mutual gain outcomes.
