The CSN-Administration team, now led by Dan Corsi, expressed a desire to make progress on Article 1 (Recognition), which defines the composition of the bargaining unit. Our CSN-NFA team wants to clarify that eligibility for CBA benefits begins on the first day of employment. We worked together all morning to create a near-final version of Article 1 for their team to review over lunch. However, they returned with a series of proposed changes. After we found compromises for each of their suggestions, they caucused and came back with an entirely new set of proposed changes. We will continue working with them on Article 1.
Additionally, we introduced our proposed revisions to Article 6 (Faculty Contracts and Engagement) to acknowledge the B3 contract type, which is already outlined in NSHE Code for nursing faculty. We also presented a revised Article 11 (Temporary Full-Time Hires), with a key change to protect faculty who start in January from being excluded from compensation increases and adjustments such as COLA.
