PSU-AAUP made repeated requests of administration to rescind the newly promulgated "Remote Work Guidelines" based on the fact that AAUP and Admin had started discussing remote work in bargaining, and that there were substantive impacts on members from the policy that PSU-AAUP had a duty and desire to negotiate and reach agreement on prior to its implementation.
The PSU-AAUP negotiating team today received confirmation that "Remote Work Guidelines" will be rescinded immediately and the long standing Telecommuting Policy until bargaining has been completed. We look forward to an agreement on remote work that meets the interests that so many members brought to our attention in listening sessions last fall.
