We used this first meeting to provide an overview of our bargaining demands and establish a bargaining protocol. Our next bargaining date will be set in the fall, where we wil begin discussing non-monetary issues, such as discrimination and harassment, appointment processes, telework, access to resources, professional development, etc.
