Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEIU 925 – Continuum College Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In response to the Employer\u2019s proposal, the Union proposed a package in which all aspects of the proposal would need to be accepted as written in its entirety.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article: Layoff, Seniority and Rehire<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Employer, the Union reasserted its proposed language requiring that the Employer identify and notify affected employees at least forty-five (45) days in advance. Additionally, the Union reasserted proposed language to add \u201csuspension\u201d and strike \u201cfurloughs\u201d from the notice period provisions that do not apply to emergency layoffs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article: Mandatory Subjects<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Union also withdrew language from its prior proposal stating that if the Union submitted a request for information at the same time as a request to bargain, the thirty (30) calendar day period would not begin until the information request has been fulfilled.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Article: Telework<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Employer, the Union reasserted language referencing the UW Telework Policy and proposed language stating that Continuum has regular telework days and in-office anchor days. The Union also proposed that employees can telework on an anchor day at least once per month. Additionally, the Union proposed including references to resources regarding suspended operations and the UW Telework Agreement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UW – Counter Proposals (Made via email February 4, 2026)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Article: Hours of Work & Work Assignments<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer accepted all Union proposed edits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article: Overtime<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In response to the Union, the Employer accepted all Union proposed edits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
