(thunder bay - may 10, 2005) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 administration today confirmed that further to the meeting between the university's negotiating team and the ontario labour board on april 29, and a follow-up meeting with caw's bargaining unit held on may 5, the university's position and offer to caw members stand as follows:

limited outsourcing: the university offers the additional concession of excluding positions in maintenance from the outsourcing clause; under this offer, only vacated positions in housekeeping would be potentially outsourced.

job protection: the university's offer includes a guarantee that every existing caw employee would be protected from outsourcing until such time that he or she leaves the employ of the university. only then would the university consider the vacated position for outsourcing.

part-time workers (represented by seiu): the university's ultimate responsibility is to provide a quality education to our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 so they can be productive, contributing citizens. this includes providing a safe, secure, and healthy physical environment for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and staff. the university has an obligation, therefore, to provide essential services to ensure it is meeting its responsibilities toward its stakeholders, and this we will continue to do under these very challenging conditions. the university has a bargaining unit of housekeeping staff represented by seiu local 2. this part-time unionized group shares housekeeping and maintenance work with the full-time caw workers. using part-time workers during the strike is essential to fulfill these obligations.

the university's negotiation team is ready, willing, and able to resume negotiations based on the above, and hopes for a satisfactory and timely resolution of this matter.
