Bargaining Session Report
We met again across the (Zoom) table with the Oakland team on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. We expanded on proposals we introduced last week and presented two new items to the Oakland team. Oakland did not bring any proposals to the table. Below are the items we proposed this week:
- Contact Information During Layoff. We propose revisions to paragraphs 62 and 63 of the current Agreement so that faculty on layoff will keep their Oakland email address and SAIL access. The proposal included changes to how faculty availability for recall is communicated and how faculty will be notified if a new position becomes available.
- Testing Space and Staff to Accommodate Students with Disabilities. We propose that Oakland provide a testing center and staff to proctor exams for all students who qualify for testing accommodations approved by Oakland that cannot be provided in the examination place and time that the instructor has set for their class as a whole.
