What will happen if the AFSCME contract negotiations remain unresolved?

The University and AFSCME have concluded the fact-finding process which involved presenting the disputed bargaining issues to a three member panel. The panel will issue an advisory non-binding report that is designed to assist the University and AFSCME in reaching an agreement through additional negotiations. If these negotiations following the conclusion of fact-finding are unsuccessful, the employer may unilaterally impose some or all of its bargaining proposals, and the union may attempt to call a strike. It is important to remember that the University continues to work hard to reach a negotiated agreement that is fair to the PCT bargaining unit and protects the interests of University Medical Centers.
