Tentative Agreement Signed on Furlough Program for Unit 17 Librarians

At 8:30 pm on Wednesday, September 9, 2009, the UC-AFT Librarian Negotiating Team, representing Unit 17 Librarians, and the UC Administration agreed to a furlough program for Unit 17 Librarians. Before describing the details of the program, it is important to emphasize that the decision to recommend a furlough program to our Librarian members was based upon important contextual information:

1) The Negotiating Team had received extremely clear and virtually unanimous support from the librarians on every campus in support of a furlough program if the only other choice was for the University to impose layoffs in order to save the same amount of money from the Librarian Unit as will be saved by the furlough program.

In an ongoing effort to study undergraduate student writing, the College Writing Programs is undertaking a research project to collect written assignments from faculty teaching undergraduate courses throughout the campus. The purposes of this research are to gain an accurate sense of the range and types of writing demands that students face in their undergraduate careers at Berkeley and to develop a collection of assignments that can be used to guide faculty in their work with students.

Summary of Unit 17 Tentative Agreement

in

The University and the Unit 17 bargaining team have arrived at the tentative agreement described below. This deal is being brought to the members for their evaluation because the team and the unit faces a significant choice: to take the terms offered, which the team leadership believes is the best we can do at this time -- or to reject these terms and return to the bargaining process. If the tentative agreement is ratified, the University will provide a 2% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) retroactive to October 1, 2005. If the members choose to reject this settlement and go forward with the bargaining process, the University will continue to hold back this cost-of-living adjustment.

Payment of the cost-of-living adjustments in 2006 and 2007 is contingent upon the University's receipt of the funding levels specified in the current state budget compact.
