6/3/2012: A quick and dirty search finds ~160 unclassified 0.49 FTE appointments – meaning people with a large UO commitment, but no UO health benefits. I don’t know what proportion are faculty, but it’s clearly significant, and this will likely be an important issue for the CBA.

yes I can see this as Point 1 For the Union CBA = no 0.49 appointments. I support this for Teaching Faculty but nor for Research Assistants (because then I can’t hire them).
In my experience Unclassified Personnel Services has verified that research faculty at 0.49 have other avenues to access health benefits before approving appointment to ensure all have equal rights.
Bet a majority are PERS retirees
