Unit 2 negotiations on hold until January

Bargaining for a new contract for AAUP Unit 2 will resume in January.

Faculty Chief Negotiator Geoff Woolf said he was informed on Thursday, Dec. 18, that the administration team is not available for additional bargaining prior to start of the College’s winter break.

“In our initial sessions, we seemed to be making good progress in identifying the key issues, so it’s disappointing that we could not meet this week,” Geoff said. “The AAUP wanted to complete negotiations before the current contract expired.”

“We hope the administration team will be available for additional bargaining sessions early in January,” Geoff added.

The current contract for Unit 2 expires Dec. 23. Geoff said the terms of the current contract will remain in effect until negotiations for a new contract are completed.
