What's happening with contract negotiations?

The 2005-2007 TAA contract with the state of Wisconsin expired on June 30, 2007 and TAA bargaining unit members (TAs and PAs) are currently working under an extension of that contract. The TAA and the State of Wisconsin reached a tentative agreement for the 2007-2009 on December 10th, 2008. The contract now needs to be approved by the Wisconsin State Legislature, which TAA leadership expects will happen in March or April 2009.

There is no rest for our weary Bargaining Team, however. During the Spring Semester of 2009, the Bargaining Team is trying to put together our first proposal to the State of Wisconsin for the 2009-2011 contract. During February and March, we are looking for ideas for future contract language, and in April we will be sending out a survey to members to assess bargaining priorities.

You too can help UW's TA and PA community, if you have a few hours a month to do some preliminary research on wage, benefit, and language issues at UW's peer institutions. Your contribution will directly affect the quality of workplace for approximately 2800 TAs and PAs. Email the TAA office and say you're interested in being a researcher today!
