Bargaining Update – Sessions yesterday and today. The OSU team brought a serious proposal, which
was even decently close to CGE’s. From the blog (about Tuesday): “They are starting out with a proposal
to increase summer health insurance coverage to 85%, cover the same percentage during family or
medical leave periods of up to 3 months, and modestly increase the minimum salary to $3350 from
the current rate of $3000 (monthly rate at 1.0 FTE). Most impressively, OSU indicated that they were
interested in covering 85% of the mandatory fees and 100% of the matriculation and international student
orientation fees.” NEXT WEEK: Bargaining on Tuesday the 12th (11 AM at Westmin) and Friday the
15th (9 AM at MU).
B-Team Spending – The new EC agrees that Matt or Bret can purchase reasonable amounts of food for
B-Team meetings.
Email Stuff – Some of the new officers still need to get their email access ready.
Ed Ray Email – Wren will send around a draft email to ask for a meeting, using Sean’s suggestion of
asking Ray to agree to set an agenda pre-meeting.
End-of-Year Party – This is next Friday! June 15th starting at 3 PM at Avery Park. Sydney has talked
with Lauren about the usual food and drink logistics. She’ll organize some volunteers too. Eric is working
on publicizing it. Wren will also include it in the upcoming all-member email.
Strategic Retreat – This is in two weeks – Friday the 22nd through the 24th. Braden is waiting on RSVPs.
AGEL Call Update – It happened! And Michelle participated. The big question is where to hold the
upcoming Fall AGEL conference.
