The proposal included redefining a full time 100% FTE employee from forty (40) hours per week to thirty (30) hours a week. The Union proposed that this would be prorated for those working less than 100%. The Union proposed that overtime-exempt employees would consult with their supervisors to adjust work hours to accommodate the appropriate balance between extended work time and offsetting (flexing) time. \u00a0\u00a0The Union proposed that the Employer would provide a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days\u2019 notice in the event of an Employer-directed permanent change in the employee\u2019s shift assignment or work schedule.\u00a0 For temporary (less than one (1) week) changes in work assignment occurring within the employee\u2019s assigned work week, the Employer would provide four (4) calendar days\u2019 notice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overtime <\/strong>\u2013 The Union\u2019s initial proposal is based off the main SEIU 925 IHME CBA, with some updates.

The Employer proposed additional language to include specifying the types of leave that could be used for union business and activities for clarity for a first contract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workplace Behavior <\/strong>\u2013 In response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed language linking to the UW Workplace Violence policy instead of including specific definitions.\u00a0 \u00a0The Employer also proposed housekeeping edits to reflect the uniqueness of a CBA covering both staff and academic personnel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Steps <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next UW Libraries and SEIU 925 bargaining session is scheduled for January 12 and will be held virtually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background This recap details the sixth virtual session for the initial collective bargaining agreement between the UW Libraries and SEIU 925.
