Bargaining is the means by which we advocate for the issues most important to us at the negotiations table. It is a participatory, democratic process—and every member gets to weigh in on our goals, our strategies, and our power. Bargaining is as much about building our collective power together as much as it is about negotiating with university admin, and if we want a strong contract, we need every member involved and ready to mobilize.
Check back here for more ways to stay up to date and get involved in the bargaining process!
