Devolution from state level bargaining to university level bargaining has now occurred.
4. Special or noteworthy happenings (e.g., relevant arbitration or court decisions, organizing campaigns, labor agency decisions, etc.)
Bargaining at the university level officially begins September 22, 2003, so I’m sure I’ll have new news for the October meeting.

The legislature has allocated salary increases, but as of January 7, 2003, the University’s Board of Trustees is the employer.
