In mediation on November 11, OSU's bargaining team did not move towards CGE's proposals regarding salary or contract term. They continue to insist on 4 year contract cycles with no partial reopeners and only a 10% raise to the minimum now, followed by another 2% in years 3 and 4. Their proposed contract locks incoming graduates into unsustainable conditions and cripples their bargaining power.
After a year of openly combative negotiations, OSU has made it abundantly clear that their priority is not the pursuit of knowledge, but rather the pursuit of money, even at the expense of their own dedicated, hard-working, and talented graduate employees.
We cannot accept this.
