LEO members will vote on ratifying the agreement later this week. A penalty reduction agreement allows you or your agents to enter into a preliminary agreement to resolve penalties related to a MIOSHA investigation of your operation. The university has proposed further minimum wage increases to Ann Arbor over its previous offer. The university proposed to increase minimum wages by $7,500 during the three-year agreement in Ann Arbor. “We are pleased to have reached an agreement that provides a fair wage and maintains the University`s goal of ensuring much-needed flexibility in performance as well as the continued safety of faculty,” Fanelli wrote. After further negotiations, LEO members voted to terminate their contract with the University of 8. September, when it was originally scheduled to expire, until September 15, in the hope of reaching an agreement without a strike. Monday`s announcement comes just two days before the deadline expires. The tentative agreement provides for a starting salary of $51,000 for faculty on all three campuses starting in the 2023-2024 academic year. The increase represents a $10,000 jump for speakers at the Flint and Dearborn campuses and responds to one of LEO`s demands for equal pay in all three locations. Representatives of the Lecturers` Employee Organization, the union that represents professors, archivists and librarians on the three campuses of the University of Michigan, announced in a press release Monday night that they had reached a provisional agreement with the university administration after nine months of negotiations.

LEO proposed more than 100 major changes to the collective agreement, with more than 50 changes in performance evaluation, dismissal and job security. The parties agreed on a number of changes, including the following: At a bargaining meeting on June 1, the university proposed additional increases to the minimum wage for lecturers at all three locations, as well as the addition of a fourth year of the collective agreement. Contract negotiations between LEO and the university had been unsuccessful so far, mainly due to disagreements over LEO`s equal pay demands at the three U-M sites. On August 9, LEO members voted to end their current contract with the university, meaning they were no longer contractually prohibited from striking 30 days after the vote. The agreement also includes an equity adjustment in the first year based on years of service and annual increases to ensure that teachers receive an increase of at least 3.25% to 4% in the first year. In Ann Arbor, teachers receive a 2.5% increase in the second year of the contract and a 3% increase in the third year. In Dearborn and Flint, lecturers receive a faculty-related increase leading to tenure or 2%, whichever is higher. In terms of salary, the university proposed to increase minimum wages by $5,500 in Ann Arbor and $5,700 in Dearborn in Flint during the three-year deal. This represents a 16% increase in Ann Arbor, a 20% increase in Dearborn and a 21% increase in Flint.

This proposal is well above the minimum wage increases agreed in the last three LEO contracts. The two sides recently agreed on benefits and job offers. The key issues that remain are union security, trade union rights and wages. The university and LEO have provisionally agreed on a new three-year contract. The union will hold a ratification vote in the week of July 9. At a bargaining session on April 29, LEO University announced that the University intends to terminate the current contract within 30 days (May 29), which is permitted under the terms of the existing contract. The agreement includes an expansion of benefits to ensure eligibility for the small number of speakers whose fall and winter jobs represent an average of 50% effort, but who are appointed less than 50% effort in the winter semester. Spring and summer performance coverage will also be expanded and offered to teachers in high-performance positions in the winter and the following fall semester. In addition, performance coverage is offered for long-time lecturers who are allowed to take unpaid educational or scientific leave for one semester. The current LEO contract is a three-year agreement that came into effect on July 13, 2018.

The tentative agreement will increase minimum wages at the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint sites. The Tentative Agreement addresses a number of other issues, including expanding funding opportunities for professional development, as well as the following non-economic issues: Last week, the university and the LEO met on Wednesday and Friday and continued to move closer to an agreement on non-economic issues related to the dismissal, performance appraisal and appointments. The parties have moved closer to an agreement on benefits, bereavement periods and certain leave provisions, although they have not yet agreed on childcare allowance and parental leave. Salary is an important issue that will continue to be negotiated. Dominick Fanelli, the university`s chief negotiator, wrote in a statement received by The Daily that the agreement in principle represents a victory for LEO and the university administration. The university and LEO continue to negotiate a new contract and added two additional negotiation sessions this week. .
