Negotiations: Article 38, Agreement Duration

AAUP-WSU has proposed the article below for inclusion in the first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for non-tenure-eligible (NTE) faculty. Our negotiating team handed it to the administration at the initial negotiating session on March 11, 2013. Reports about the status of this article will be found below the article itself.

March 18, 2013

At this session, the administration team stated that it would be very surprised if the administration would opposed the one-year CBA proposed by AAUP-WSU.

March 11, 2013

At this first negotiating session, our negotiating team pointed out our wish to have this first CBA for NTE faculty to expire with the existing CBA for tenure-eligible and tenured (TET) faculty. The administration asked whether AAUP-WSU foresees two separate bargaining units (as is the case now) or a single combined unit; we answered that our preference is for one. The administration noted that if the administration and AAUP-WSU agree that there should be a single bargaining unit, then the parties should initiate action soon with SERB (Ohio's State Employment Relations Board) accordingly.
