The negotiation committee has been meeting with management, most recently on June 3, 2009. The Union presented a comprehensive contract proposal to management. They are reviewing that proposal and we await Temple’s response. I will be scheduling brown bag lunch meetings to brief the members (only) on the negotiations and the outstanding issues. Those lunch meetings will take place in June and July. Look forward to hearing from your Steward about the time and place of the meetings. The meetings will be held in various work areas throughout the University and will be informational.
