Should be getting started momentarily, still time to send a message to @OregonState if you haven’t already done so! http://uaosu.org/letter ">https://uaosu.org/letter&qu... #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u https://twitter.com/uaosu/status/1265674650350166022">https://twitter.com/uaosu/sta...
Looks like we’ll be starting with our proposals. Benefits article is first #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
This one is ready for tentative agreement

Up next is the faculty governance article #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
We’ve pared down a lot of the language from previous iterations, just want to make sure that all faculty members would be able to participate in decision-making #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Some faculty members are excluded from unit-level governance because of rank and/or location, and we would like to correct this #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Next up is a letter of agreement on exceptional service #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Previously we proposed compensating faculty from underrepresented communities for their extra service related to diversity, equity, and inclusion #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
As we all know, these faculty members typically shoulder a disproportional workload on these issues, and we believe that they should be compensated for that labor #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
It doesn’t sound like admin is interested in committing to a solution in writing! But they do acknowledge that vital, vital work is being done #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
On to our research support article, which now includes some language around intellectual property #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
For the FRA/RA job exchange, we’re asking for a 3-month window where people could be hired into new positions after a previous funding source runs out #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
For tuition discounts, we understand that @OregonState may discontinue this practice so they don’t want to commit to it in this contract. We’re asking for 3-months notice of potential discontinuation #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u
For copyright issues, we added some language to clarify what constitutes typical resources versus exceptional resources, so we explicitly know who has the rights to what #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Admin is asking some clarifying questions about the intellectual property language and the intent behind it. Tricky subject! #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Up next is the MOU on FY2020 raises, which is ready for tentative agreement https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face"> #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Finally, we’ve got the MOU on salary cuts #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Long story short, we still don’t have enough information to agree to a cut of any percentage—we feel it’s in our best interest to finish this base agreement before the end of the term #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
If @OregonState wants to insist on getting a cut within this agreement, it may push bargaining into the summer, so we can make a fully informed decision #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
They’re very saddened at this proposal—they were really hoping we would agree to a cut, even when they have not committed to a cut for their own salaries #UAOSUbargaining #FairContractNow #PutItInWriting #1u @OregonState
Admin has asked for a caucus until 11:45ish. In the meantime, let @OregonState know what you think about asking employees to bear the burden of budget cuts! http://uaosu.org/letter ">https://uaosu.org/letter&qu...
