URA members have reported that they have heard that remote work is ending soon across all campuses and departments.
Our contract Article 59 – Flexible Work Arrangements remains in effect. This was negotiated and codified into our contract and defines how arrangements shall be made.
Arrangements are agreed upon based on the department needs assessment and equity among staff. We suggest that members begin to do their own department needs assessment to determine if there have been changes. Developing data to support our demand to continue remote work will help not only during this threat, but as we go into negotiations.
