Campus Reopening Bargaining
Impact Bargaining Around Campus Reopening
This has been a difficult time for many of us, and the prospect of being back on-site is exciting. However, many details must be worked out first. As you may know, new policies and procedures described in the Pathway to Fall guide introduce significant changes to the working conditions of OSU faculty and have raised a number of questions and concerns from all members of the OSU community.
This is why we will be negotiating the terms of the return to on-site work with the administration.

Member Feedback on Bargaining Priorities
In order to gather ideas from our members, we held four listening sessions between 5/26 and 6/2.
If you were unable to attend one of these sessions, you can still contact the Representative from your unit, who you can find here. If your unit is currently unrepresented, you can also reach out to info@uaosu.org your questions and feedback.
