These proposals were developed by the UUP Negotiation Team, based on the extensive member input we received, and approved by the UUP Negotiations Committee prior to their presentation to the State. These conceptual proposals outline a targeted but ambitious bargaining agenda&nbsp;that&nbsp;attempts to address the varied needs of a diverse bargaining unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have now posted the UUP 2022 Conceptual Proposals, along with our next Negotiations Bulletin, in Members Only on the UUP website.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><em>Please share this information widely with your membership,&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>keeping in mind that the information is posted to the Members Only section of the website to ensure that we are communicating&nbsp;directly and exclusively&nbsp;with our membership and not with SUNY management, the state, or members of the public.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UUP Members may access the conceptual proposals and the bulletin at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uupinfo.org\/\">UUP | United University Professions (uupinfo.org)<\/a>&nbsp;by clicking on \u201cMembers Only\u201d on the Member drop down bar and following the directions in the \u2018Members Only portal\u201d for logging in.
