Bargaining and negotiation is in progress, and progress is indeed being made. To date, of 27 line items under negotiation, tentative agreements have been signed off for 11 of those items. You can see the line items here (PDF).
The next bargaining sessions with Administration are March 4th, March 21st. These sessions are being held at the Federal Mediation and Conciliatory Services in Oakland. Our team is:
Hugh Behm-Steinberg, Writing and Literture, MFA Writing
Carol Manahan, Critical Studies
Alisa Golden, Printmaking
David Skolnick, Writing and Literature, ESL
Rob Hugel, Graphic Design
Noga Wizansky, Visual and Critical Studies
Besides the Bargaining Team, there are several non-ranked faculty active in supporting the formation of our union. This is the Contract Action Team. They have organized the information tables you see on both campuses, the print-in event with SFAI faculty and students, and the rally at the end of the end of last semester. The Contract Action Team has also drafted the petitions and letters circulated and sent to administration. These folks are:
Anita Amirrezvani, Writing and Literature, Grad MFA
Eduardo Pineda, Diversity Studies
Elin Christopherson, Glass
Ines Lejarraga, Architecture
Lauren Elder, Diversity Studies
Lauren Wooley, Individualized Studies
Michael Stevens, Visual Studies
Paula Levine, Writing and Literature
Steve Dickison, Writing and Literature
