CAPS-UAW Responds to State on Economic Items, Proposals Passed

Today, 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 provides a pathway to pay equity for all State Scientists in our bargaining unit while keeping the concept of a relatively short union contract duration.
  • Presented a counter on NEW 3.25 – Employee Donated Release Time Bank

 

We are meeting with the State next Friday, June 14. After our joint session, the State indicated they would like to meet earlier than Friday to respond to our proposal package. Stay tuned!

Contract negotiations are in full swing, with both sides of the bargaining table having passed proposals. Keep an eye out for ways to get involved and add YOUR voice to these negotiations!

CALL TO ACTION: 

Let the Governor know that we are united in our demand to reach a fair contract NOW by signing this photo petition. The photos will be published after a majority of rank-and-file scientists sign the petition. 

Power hour next week, Monday, June 10, 6-7pm

We will be going over the  State’s June 5 economic proposals and our CAPS-UAW June 6 counters. Register to attend the Power Hour here.

Your CAPS-UAW Bargaining Committee and observers debriefing today’s joint session. 


In Solidarity,

Your CAPS-UAW Bargaining Committee
