Negotiations Update

Your negotiations team met on Monday June 3, 2013. The main purpose of this team meeting was to go over the results of the negotiations survey that was sent out to members a few weeks ago and to start work on our comprehensive issues/proposals list for the start of bargaining along with other negotiations related business.

We targeted future dates on which the majority of the team would be available and sent these to the University negotiations team for their review in determining the best one for the official start of negotiations between ACSUM and the University. We will notify you when we have come to an agreed upon start date.

We feel that we had a very productive meeting and are looking forward to the start of negotiations.
