Under this proposal UWHA would accept claims, determine reimbursement eligibility and refund employees. UWHA would then request quarterly reimbursement from the Employer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bicycle Benefits<\/strong> \u2013 The Union proposed an alternate format to distribute bike funds as a stipend. Subsequently they increased the alternative transportation incentive fund from $50k to $58,139 to account for how stipends are taxed. The Union proposed that the Employer would provide an annual bicycle stipend of $172.50 for those who attest to biking to work under 80% of the time and $408.50 for those who bike over 80%.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Committees<\/strong> \u2013 The Union proposed that both the GME Committee and Policy Subcommittee would include the UWHA president (or designee) as well as two other UWHA members and a minimum of an additional three peer-selected resident or fellow representatives. Additionally, the Union proposed language that in the event that a UWHA-appointed member is unable to attend a meeting (GMEC or other committee type), a substitute from the UWHA board could be designated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employer Counter Proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Childcare \u2013 <\/strong>The Employer maintained its proposal to make no changes to the existing Resident Childcare Fund at $50,000 per year, once again rejecting the Union\u2019s proposal to increase the yearly fund to $506,160. Additionally, the Employer rejected the Union\u2019s proposed addition of a childcare emergency fund of $50,371. The parties have no other outstanding items in the childcare article beyond the fund amounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Steps <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next UW and UWHA bargaining session is scheduled for December 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background This recap details the eighteenth session for the renewal of the collective bargaining agreement between the UW and UWHA.
