AAPS and the University have had seven days of productive bargaining, most recently on May 25 and May 26. The general tone of bargaining has been constructive and collaborative, and the parties have resolved multiple issues.

AAPS have chosen to invoke the Fact Finder process established in the Framework Agreement in an effort to resolve a limited number of remaining issues. While we do not intend to respond in any detail to AAPS’ bulletin of May 29, we wish to note that the some of the explanations of the positions taken by the University are incomplete, and/or lack the context provided at the table. That said, we respect AAPS’ ability to take this action and will follow the process set out for a Fact Finder under the Framework Agreement.
