This email is to share the news that we have a tentatively agreed contract with Columbia University to be voted on by the membership. The offer has been tentatively agreed (TA) to by CPW’s Bargaining Committee (BC) as a condition to bring it to the membership. To clarify, Columbia University demanded that the BC TA the attached offer, or it would not be offered. Based on this, the BC has agreed to present a factual description of the offer, and to present it to the membership for a vote to decide whether to accept this offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that we must now vote on this contract offer \u2013 there will be an email link with more details and information sent out later today (Wednesday) including a link to vote, and we will discuss this offer further at our upcoming membership meeting Thursday, October 26th, 2023 @ 6:30 pm\u00a0(RSVP here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
