New UW Personnel Principles System |
The University of Wisconsin-Madison tried unsuccessfully to separate from the UW-System. As a compromise, the legislature is allowing the UW-Madison and UW-System to set up their own Human Resource systems. The leadership of your Local, Local 2412, the TAA's, student labor groups, classified non-represented, faculty and academic staff have been meeting with Vice Chancellor Darrell Bazzell to work on principles for our new HR system, which will take effect in July of 2013.
This new HR system will give UW-Madison local unions the right to bargain with the university rather then bargain with the state. As a result, we will be focusing solely on our members. Corrections, probation and parole officers and other union members that are not hired by the university will not be involved in our bargaining process. We will have the opportunity to increase current pay levels as well as night and weekend differentials, and bargain many other things.
