Background<\/strong>
\nThis recap details the sixth virtual session for the renewal of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the University of Washington and the Resident and Fellow Physicians Union (RFPU). Recaps are published online on the UW Labor Relations website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RFPU Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Article 20: Non-Discrimination<\/strong>
\nComplaints<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Employer\u2019s proposal, the Union agreed to include links where employees would be encouraged to report bias. These links would be to the GME\u2019s report a concern, UW Medicine\u2019s bias reporting tool, and the University\u2019s bias reporting tool.
\nRetaliation<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Employer\u2019s proposal, the Union proposed to add language to this section where, upon request by the Resident, interim measures could be schedule changes including rotation changes and acquiring necessary training at outside institutions when needed.<\/p>\n

Article 22: Compensation<\/strong>
\nThe Union made a counter proposal accepting some terminology changes proposed by the University but did not change or reduce their proposed salary increases.<\/p>\n

UW Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Article 3: Childcare<\/strong>
\nUW Children\u2019s Centers<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed adding instructions to download the wait pool application for UW Children\u2019s Center at UWMC-Northwest and including how to apply for the same at Harborview.
\nChildcare Fund<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed increasing this fund from $50,000 to $60,000.
\nOther Childcare<\/strong>
\nA housekeeping change was proposed in this section that would update the attached link for other childcare.
\nLactation Accommodation<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed adding a section about lactation accommodation. In this section, training sites would ensure a healthy and safe clinical and educational environment for clean and private facilities for lactation with proximity appropriate for safe patient care, and clean and safe refrigeration resources for the storage of breast milk. The Employer also proposed that the University would allow adequate time for milk expression as determined by each resident\u2019s individual medical needs or preferences. Finally, the Employer proposed that Residents would inform their colleagues before stepping away for a lactation session and that programs would work with Residents to ensure educational requirements and pumping preferences were met.<\/p>\n

Article 8: Health and Safety<\/strong>
\nWorking Conditions<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed that unsafe working conditions could be reported to any applicable local, state, or federal regulatory body in addition to the Program Director.
\nWorkplace Violence<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed to create a section that would describe the University\u2019s stance on workplace violence including how to find more information as well as stating compliance with the Department of Labor and Industries Division of Occupational Safety and Health requirements. Also that training sites outside of the University of Washington would ensure appropriate safety and security measures as required by ACGME.
\nWork Related Injury<\/strong>
\nIn this section, the Employer proposed that any employee who sustains a work-related illness or injury would be granted disability leave of absence. Employees who had sustained a work-related illness or injury would also be able to receive workers compensation and combine that with leave payment and time loss compensation.<\/p>\n

Article 15: Time Off \u2013 Sick<\/strong>
\nSick and Health Maintenance Time Off<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed to strike language where sick time off would need to be 12 weekdays and 5 weekend days. Instead, the Employer proposed just a flat 17 days that the Resident could use regardless of day of week.
\nSick time off may be used for the following:<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer agreed to strike advance notice required to supervising attending with regards to any appointment that the Resident has. With this change, the Resident would be able to attend medical, mental health, optical, and dental care appointments scheduled during their working hours but would not need to notify their supervising attendee in advance. Similarly, the Employer proposed that a Resident would be able to accompany a family member or partner to same appointments as long as notice was provided to supervising attending.<\/p>\n

Article 24: Transportation<\/strong>
\nChanges to Parking Polices and Rates<\/strong>
\nA housekeeping edit was proposed by the Employer to update UWHA to RFPU. The Employer also proposed to notify RFPU of any changes to daily parking rates at UW Medicine and would provide an opportunity to bargain.
\nParking During Nights and Weekends<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer proposed to memorialize the times and locations from the parties\u2019 previously executed settlement agreement.
\nEmergency\/Safe Ride Home Program<\/strong>
\nIn response to the Union\u2019s proposal, the Employer agreed that this program could be used to reach the Resident\u2019s destination; that destination did not necessarily have to be their home. The Employer also agreed that this program could be used regardless of whether public transportation is currently running.
\nUniversity Transportation Committee (UTC)<\/strong>
\nThe Employer agreed with the Union\u2019s proposal to strike to that 24 hours\u2019 notice would need be given to the committee chairperson if RFPU designated a substitute.<\/p>\n

Article 18: Working Outside of the Training Program<\/strong>
\nThe Employer reasserted to use current contract language. As part of the discussion the Employer displayed and explained all the of bargaining and changes to this article that were agreed up in the last round of bargaining.<\/p>\n
