Agreement reached
The USF and UFF bargaining teams signed an agreement on the 2006-07 reopener Friday, April 13, 2007, as well as a brief memorandum of agreement on a study of parental leave. The reopener text is available online.
As I told the faculty union team in the past few days, I admire their fortitude through the year, and I consider this agreement an intermediary step towards addressing many of the issues raised in bargaining. The team during 2006-07 has included the following members:
- Robert F. Welker, chief negotiator (COBA)
- Mark Klisch (Counseling Center for Human Development)
- Jana Martin (Library)
- Kathleen de la Peña McCook (Arts and Sciences)
- Steve Permuth (Education)
- Arthur Shapiro (Education)
- Sonia Wohlmuth (Arts and Sciences)
