Bargaining Tracker
We’ve launched a bargaining tracker where you can check out which items we have brought forth during collective bargaining and the status of each article. We will update the tracker after each bargaining session to share our progress on winning a historic first contract! We’ll also share bargaining updates via e-mail and Instagram!
-
TL;DR: Bargaining started today!
We delivered the first 18 non-economic proposals of our future contract to fairly positive reception. UMMC will betaking the next two weeks to review further and will come back with their critiques and suggestions at our next meeting on 11/7.
-
TL;DR: We reached a tentative agreement on two proposals, Labor Management Committee and the Non-Discrimination Clause. We introduced three more proposals related to moonlighting rights, the privacy of the EAP program, and union representation on hospital committees. Admin provided counter-proposals to some of our original proposals that we will review and discuss at our next session.
-
TL;DR: We had two bargaining sessions last week that were congenial with a bit of back and forth on several proposals, might be close to more tentative agreements soon! We’re shifting the focus to economic proposals that we have been working on and hope to introduce those ASAP. Plan to continue the current bargaining schedule and set dates in the new year.
-
TL;DR: We had two back-to-back bargaining sessions that allowed us to build on discussions and come to an agreement on four proposals, totaling six TAs so far. We explained the remaining non-economic proposals by sharing stories we gathered from housestaff with Admin. As we continue to work on the economic asks, keep those testimonials coming.
-
TL;RD: We got remaining counter-proposals on non-economic items, TA’ed two proposals (union security and moonlighting), and exchanged essential information that will help us continue bargaining effectively and come to a compromise on other items.
-
TL;DR: We delivered our complete economic package to Admin with a stellar presentation backing up our asks with the information and stories you have shared. As we anticipate rebuttals from Admin on economics and non-economics, keep up the supportive energy so Admin remembers they are not bargaining with just the housestaff across the table, but with the 950+ housestaff at UMMC.
