Contract negotiations began in November of 2017 with a goal to
develop consensus around identified issues of importance.
“Interest-Based Bargaining truly helped negotiations,” said Sean
Colcleasure, Faculty Association Lead. “Both sides came together in good faith,
built a solid foundation and worked together to get a contract all parties
benefit from, with minimal disagreements.”
The contract was ratified by HFA membership with voting held on May 8-9.
