November 28 Mediation Results

CSUEU has announced that the November 28 mediation session with the CSU resulted in a conceptual agreement. Essentially that means the CSU and the CSUEU agreed on a list of bullet points and will flesh out the exact language, in proper sentences and format, later.

From Bargaining News #7:

Conceptual Agreement on IRP funding for FY 2007/08

• $1.6 million (the equivalent of .25% General Salary Increase) shall be used for In-Range Progressions (IRPs).
• IRP funds will be allocated to campuses on a pro rata basis.
• The $1.6 million IRP allocation is not intended to supplant funds campuses have already spent or have committed to spend for IRPs in FY 2007.
• The Chancellor’s Office will not direct campuses to target specific classifications for IRPs.
• Any funds unspent at the end of FY 2007 shall roll over into FY 2008.
• Implementation language still needs to be developed.
