Negotiations

We are awaiting the assignment of the PERB-appointed Fact-Finder.

As soon as the Fact-Finder is assigned, we will schedule our presentation as soon as possible. Note: We have already been preparing for this and can start quickly.

There still seems to be some confusion relating to the Fact-finding process. An overview of a Fact-Finder prepared by our Labor Relations Specialists (LRS) can be found here (Click Here).

Here is a copy of the process that was in our past email to you.

In short,

• It is not binding on either side.
• You can refuse to participate; however, then only the one side presents.

We will keep you up to date.
