HOW IT WORKS

All UAKU members are encouraged to attend ongoing bargaining sessions!

Our Bargaining Team proposes policy language on a topic related to our working conditions at UAKU.

If the administration agrees with the proposal we have a “tentative agreement” or a “T.A.” These agreements are “tentative” because the whole contract must be ratified by a vote of the membership before it can go into effect.

If the administration does not agree with our union’s proposal, their team will give us their own proposal, called a “counter proposal.” This process continues back and forth until an agreement is reached on all articles.

When we have a TA on all articles, the contract will be sent to all union members for a vote on whether to ratify it, or send it back to the table for revisions. Once a contract is ratified it goes into effect for the length of time established in the contract.
