Negotiations • AAPS contract expires June 30, 2005 • All other collective agreements on campus also expire this year • Negotiations create extraordinary expenses
Workload: Grievances • 2004 has been the busiest year to date • It appears that UBC is taking a hard line on many issues • Resolutions take more work and are harder to achieve
Anomaly or Permanent Change? • Is this a one-time anomaly? OR • Is it the shape of things to come?
Options • Back off & let UBC dictate terms. • Draw on reserves which were put away for a “rainy day”. • Raise dues.
