6/24/22 LEO-GLAM Bargaining Recap

At our June 24th session both LEO-GLAM and admin passed salary proposals. In our proposal, we made movement on the equity steps, the annual increase in year 3, and kept the starting salaries constant over all three years. In response, administration’s counter reverted to minimum salaries that were raised by $1,000 from their previous offer (taking the assistant starting salary to $51,000) and added a quarter of a percent to the annual raise in year 3 bringing it to 2.75%. Overall, they brought an additional $42,908 in this pass compared with their last one. 

Admin also provided some of the information we requested on professional development expenditures in previous years. The bargaining team spent several hours in caucus reviewing this information in preparation for our next counter. 

This week we plan to meet for several sidebar conversations about the two remaining articles with management; we are hopeful that these small group discussions will be productive and move us forward on our counters for the table on Friday.

We look forward to seeing you at Bargaining again on Friday, July 1st!
