Word from the faculty club hot-tub is that Gottfredson has pulled Tim Gleason from the admin bargaining team and replaced him with Chip Kelly. I’ll be in 450 Lillis at 8 AM live blogging, just in case it’s true. Live Blog: Usual disclaimer applies.No Gleason! No Geller. Rudnick’s helper lawyer…

1/9/13 Update: Subject: counterproposalsDate: January 9, 2013 9:16:03 AM PSTTo: Tim Gleason , Doug Blandy Hi Tim and Doug, can you send me a copy of the administrative counter proposals? I’d like to add them to the info at https://uomatters.com/2012/12/facultyadministration-bargaining.html so that people can make comments. I’ll post their response.…
Room 450 Lillis. I plan to live-blog. 1/7/13.
This page has links to all the CBA articles put forward so far. In January the administration will start responding and perhaps present counter-proposals. Now is your chance to give your opinions and suggestions. The links below take you to a separate page for each article, which has a link…
12/16/12 update: The union has now posted the proposals they put forward Th and Fri. Read and comment here.I encourage people to read these carefully. This is serious stuff that will affect our lives as faculty for a long, long time. There are bound to be problematic parts, and having seen…
Her standard rate is $400. (Frohnmayer’s is $550): It’s possible Geller negotiated a discount. We may find out next week, if the District Attorney orders Geller to deredact that part of her invoices. I’ll post more on how a partner in Frohnmayer’s firm ended up across the table from the…
Bargaining will restart at 1:15 PM Friday, again in room 122, Knight Library, again open to the faculty. Be there – after this fiasco, I have the feeling Rudnick et al. will come back in a more cooperative mode. These are my summaries of my interpretation of the meaning of…
From the faculty union website: First session December 13 (9am-1pm) and December 14 (1pm-5pm). Negotiations will take place in the Knight Library Collaboration Center (Room 122). The bargaining meetings are open to the public. Lots of people have lots of questions about how this will proceed. I don’t know how…

By popular request. Submit your guesses for what’s behind UO General Counsel Randy Geller’s redactions to Sharon Rudnick’s most recent invoice. Prizes for the most and least accurate answers! (For more serious info on the petition to the Lane County DA for unredacted invoices, see here.) Any prize disputes to…
Posted on their website, here. Merit: In the bargaining process, we will be introducing an integrated and robust set of salary proposals for all faculty at the University of Oregon. These include multi-year efforts to systematically correct the salary differential with our AAU comparators, correct inversion and compression, create transparent…
11/30/2012: I was at this bargaining meeting. Bean was not. At the insistence of the union, the bargaining meetings will be open and live-blogging will be allowed. In the spirit of cooperation and professional collaboration, that’s all I have to say just now. The comments are open, of course. Office…
The MSU decertification group’s post is here. Their proposal is to replace the new union (and its dues) with a strong faculty senate. UO’s faculty senate was gutted by Frohnmayer, with Lariviere, Pernsteiner and Berdahl finishing it off as an effective institution. Rob Kyr has tried to rebuild it, but at…
11/26/2012 update: Geller is still redacting the contracts and invoices on legal advice about the union – it’s been more than a month now since I asked for them. But Dave Hubin did send me a copy of the emails between him and Geller on the subject of UO’s fee-waiver…
11/19/2012: Faculty unions almost never strike: A reporter told me he could find one strike in the last 25 years, it lasted a day or two. But asking union members to vote to authorize a strike is a relatively common bargaining strategy designed to show the administration that the faculty…
