Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This recap details the third session for the negotiation for the collective bargaining agreement between the University of Washington and SEIU 925-Advisers. Recaps are published online on the\u00a0UW Labor Relations website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEIU 925 Advisers \u2013 Initial Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Article \u2013 <\/strong>Personnel Files<\/h5>\n

The Union\u2019s proposal matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract, adding a proposal that electronic copies of employee personnel or departmental files would be provided to employees at no cost, via secure file transfer within 15 days. The Union also proposed that documents removed from employee files pursuant to the corrective action article will be removed within ten (10) days of the exoneration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013Tuition Exemption\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Union\u2019s proposal matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 – IHME<\/a>. In addition to the courses covered by Administrative Policy Statement 22.1<\/a>, the Union proposed that the Employer would allow employees to use the tuition exemption benefit as matriculated or nonmatriculated students to enroll in any tuition-based course at the University of Washington following the registration process outlined in policy 22.1, and that academic departments would not use tuition exemption status as a determining factor when reviewing an employee for admission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 <\/strong>Union Activities, Rights and Stewards<\/h5>\n

The Union\u2019s proposal matches much of the same language from the similar article in the SEIU 925 – IHME<\/a>. The Union proposed to provide Labor Relations with an updated Union Steward list at least annually, with changes noted as they occur, rather than monthly. The union proposed that leave for Union business activities should be requested at least two weeks prior to the planned absence, but the employer may still approve a request for leave submitted with less than two weeks\u2019 notice. The Union proposed that materials posted on Union bulletin boards would not require the signature of a recognized Union officer or representative.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 <\/strong>Joint Union Management Committee<\/h5>\n

The Union proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 \u2013 IHME<\/a> contract with minor housekeeping edits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UW \u2013 Initial Proposals<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Article \u2013 Absence Due to Family Care Emergencies<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 Leave Related to Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 <\/strong>Civil\/Jury Duty and Bereavement Time Off<\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 <\/strong>Sick Time Off<\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013\u00a0 <\/strong>Unpaid Holidays for a Reason of Faith and Good Conscience<\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013 <\/strong>Work Related Injury Leave<\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Holidays<\/h5>\n

The Employer proposed an article that is identical to the same titled article in the SEIU 925 Continuum College<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n
