As we approach the expiration of the University’s current contract with our graduate and other student employees, we are writing to recap the bargaining process to date and preview the developments we hope for in the coming days.
The University has been attempting to initiate negotiations since February; thus far, we have had only one bargaining session with the SWC, on March 28.
The University will soon begin collective bargaining for a successor contract with the Student Workers of Columbia-United Auto Workers, Local 2710 (SWC).
