Labor negotiations continued with the Librarian unit on Wednesday, Nov. 29, to continue working toward an initial collective bargaining agreement.

FAM introduced the following proposals: (1) Evaluation, Reappointment, and Review of the President, Provost, Deans, Assistant/Associate Deans, and Department Head; (2) Scope of Librarian Duties and Working Conditions; and (3) an MOU regarding remote access to University meetings. The parties engaged in discussion related to each proposal.

The University then introduced the following proposals: (1) Grievance and Arbitration; and (2) Health, Safety, and Security – and the parties engaged in discussion of both.

After caucusing separately, the parties returned to joint session. FAM presented counter proposals on (1) Separability; and (2) Purpose. The University communicated its rejection of FAM’s proposal on Data Sharing.

The parties are next scheduled to meet on December 15, 2023.
