Union Contract Negotiators at Oregon Health & Science University Consider Role of Ombuds

Last week, members of the OHSU and Graduate Researchers United bargaining teams met in their sixth collective bargaining session. Among other things, the union proposed to include reference to the University Ombuds. This would be uncommon, but not unprecedented.

Here's a summary from OHSU:
Article 19 – Non-Discrimination: GRU countered the proposed informal processes to resolve discrimination complaints. GRU’s counter emphasized utilization of the Confidential Advocacy Program as well the Ombuds, while preserving the right to pursue formal complaints or file a grievance. 
Negotiations are still on-going. (OHSU News.)
