Following a previous two-week extension to file opening briefs, the arbitrator has given CU-UAW another extension to submit their reply brief.

The two parties continued productive discussions on a variety of previously introduced articles including Health and Safety, Job Postings, Nondiscrimination in Employment, Orientation, and Union Access among other topics.

The parties exchanged counters to previously introduced proposals, and CalArts introduced a new proposal on Temporary Employees as a demonstration of good faith.

The parties continued their discussion on the scope of the staff bargaining unit, counters to several previous proposals, and the union introduced a new article for Orientation.

Materials included witness declarations, documents, and personnel files. CU-UAW’s attorney denied CalArts’ request for personnel files to be kept confidential.

CalArts responded to each of the Union’s proposals and provided one additional proposal.
