Renton Technical College bargaining update

The bargaining team at Renton Technical College, which negotiates under a different law than for all other Federation members, has made good progress after their fifth session at the table.

Five more bargaining days have been set through January: Dec. 16, Jan. 5, Jan. 13, Jan. 20 and Jan. 26.

So far both sides have signed off on ground rules, the performance evaluation article, a memorandum of understanding for an "all employee in-service day" and a first-ever union-management communications committee article.

The team is now working on articles on professional development and layoff and recall.
