Contract NEGOTIATIONS
Update # 2
Thursday, February 25, 2010

The official negotiations process began on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 as representatives from the District (Superintendent, Marylou McDermott, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, Terry Bouton and Assistant Superintendent for Business, Kathleen Molander, along with District Counsel, John Gross) met with your UTN Negotiations Team, for the first time.

Ground rules for the negotiations process, as well as dates for subsequent sessions, were established.  Proposals from both sides have been exchanged.

The next negotiations session has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

Your support is very much appreciated as we move forward through this process.  Additional information regarding solidarity activities is forthcoming.

In Solidarity,
