By now, members of our community may have heard the news that management’s lead lawyer on the FAM-T side has stepped away and will soon be replaced.
FAM, AAUP-AFT has been negotiating with Miami University for almost 470 days. In that time, we have faced numerous delays on the part of the university. We hope that this latest change to the university’s negotiating team will not cause even further delays.
It is unfortunate that Miami University has decided to spend upwards of a million dollars on two outside law firms to fight its faculty and librarian unions instead of working with us to pay employees fairly.
We are committed to working out a fair contract as soon as possible, and we demand that the university make a good-faith and timely effort to work with us on raises, benefits, and job security.
