Tentative agreement: the strike has been called off
| From our Higher Ed Bargaining team
After nine months of bargaining, we have a tentative agreement and the strike has been called off!
Our tentative agreement includes 3% COLAs this year, 3% next year, no takeaways to contracting out protection, layoff/bumping rights, health insurance. Many more details will be shared by our bargaining team soon.
Because the strike has been called off, workers should report to work at their usual start times Monday morning.
This agreement is tentative until members vote to approve it. We will share the full details, bargaining team recommendations and voting information later this week, and we will schedule Zoom meetings to answer questions about the contract during ratification.
The power classified workers built on our campuses made this agreement possible.
In unity,
Your Higher Ed Bargaining team
