The university and the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 2010 continued productive negotiations with the assistance of the appointed conciliator, Greg Long, on July 13 and July 14. The parties have agreed to meet again with Mr. Long on July 29.
The university values the contributions of its many employees and remains committed to the collective bargaining process.
The university is focused on reaching negotiated agreements with all employee groups that both balance the university’s need to preserve its core academic mission and respect the limitations dictated by current financial realities.
