Reminder on Furlough Days

All members of the full-time bargaining unit should take 3 furlough days this fiscal year (by June 30, 2010) and 3 furlough days next fiscal year. The value of these days is being spread across the 26 paychecks of each year. You're paying for these days, so you should use them! Furlough days are to be selected by the employee with the approval of his or her supervisor.

Unions to Bargain Over Merit Pay

When Chancellor Marc Herzog notified the union Presidents of his intention to cancel Merit Awards for both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years, the three professional unions demanded impact bargaining. The unions said the action was a unilateral change in a condition of employment and thus a mandatory subject of bargaining. The Board of Trustees has agreed to bargain with the union coalition. The process will begin mid-January.
