University of Chicago – Latest Facilities Bargaining Update

The bargaining committee sat down with management for our second bargaining session on Monday, June 24th. Neither the union nor management has offered an economic package or discussed things like pay, benefits and other important issues to the membership.

The Union offered additional non-economic proposals on the following:

• Making sure management discusses any job description changes with the union
• Ensuring that workload increases are discussed with the union and push back on the loss of staff
• Stronger Sunday premium language
• Renew the Favored Nations language in the current contract

The next session will be July 3^rd. We hope to finalize some Tentative Agreements on non-economic issues and move closer to discussing pay and benefits.
