Additionally, both parties were able to engage in productive conversations surrounding Performance Expectations and Hours of Work articles. In essence, the Bteam agrees with the intent of OHSU management’s proposal, as it encapsulates professionalism and independence of postdoctoral research. However, our Bteam provided a strong case for a more formal expectations procedure to eliminate any confusion about how progress is evaluated. Our Bteam was firm that expectations should be developed by the postdoc and advisor at the beginning of their appointment, reviewed annually, and re-evaluated at any time upon request of either party. Still, an agreement on this proposal has not been reached, but your Bteam is eagerly awaiting for our next bargaining session to continue with these productive discussions. In solidarity, The PWU Bargaining Team
We joined our fellow unions across OHSU in response to the recent news
