From our first bargaining session, April 2019
It has now been nearly four years since we began the process to negotiate our first contract with the administration. We got a major deal completed, but our purpose remains the same moving forward. A new round of negotiation began in fall 2023 with a goal to complete the CBA by the end of 2024.
