The Evergreen State College bargaining team, representing classified
employees and supervisors, completed negotiations late yesterday (Aug.
29) for their 2012-2013 contract.
For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, the terms and conditions of the 2009 - 2011 contract will remain in place.
The team was able to secure improvements in working
conditions, suspended operations leave, hours of work, grievance
procedure, and other areas. A complete summary will be available in the
next few days.
The temporary 3 percent salary reduction is included in the 2012 - 2013
contract. Employees subject to temporary salary reduction (TSR) will
accrue up to 5.2 hours of paid TSR leave per month.
Members of the TESC classified bargaining units will receive a copy of
the summary of changes and the ratification plan in the mail in the next
two weeks. Complete copies of the tentative agreement will be available
on the WFSE web page within the next week. On-campus informational
meetings will be scheduled and announced within the next week.
The vote will be held by mail-in ballot.
If you are a member of the TESC bargaining units and do not receive a
packet by Tuesday, September 13, 2011, contact WFSE HQ at 800-562-6002
or email us at info@wfse.org.
TESC is the final team to reach tentative agreement in what has
turned out to be a marathon cycle of negotiations brought on by the bad
economy.
