Last Friday, June 14, 2024, we, your CAPS-UAW Bargaining Committee:
- Presented a counter proposal package, including sections:
- 2.1 – Salaries
- NEW 2.13 – One-Time Retention Payment
- NEW 2.18 – Geographical Pay Differential
- NEW 2.19 – Longevity Pay Differential
- 5.1 – Health, Dental, Vision
- This package maintains a pathway to pay equity for all classifications and retains the core concepts and structure from the last package we passed on June 6. We continue to advocate for appropriate and logical salary relationships for classifications within our unit.
- Presented a counter on NEW 3.25 – Employee Donated Release Time Bank
We are meeting with the State next Tuesday, June 25. The State indicated they will respond to our counter proposal package and 3.25 – Employee Donated Release Time Bank proposal then.
See all of the proposals we’ve passed on outstanding sections here.
Call to Action!
Let the Governor and his Administration know that our membership stands united in demanding a fair contract that ends the gender pay gap NOW! Take 30 seconds to add yourself to our photo petition! Hundreds of your fellow State Scientists have already signed on! Once a majority of rank-and-file scientists sign on to the photo petition, your Contract Action Team (CAT) will publish it and show this administration what collective power looks like! Our power is in our participation, so please take action today!
Check out this photo collage from a successful organizing campaign in Germany for a taste of what to expect once we reach a majority of state scientists signing!
