when used, shall refer to librarians who are in the bargaining unit covered by this
Agreement. The University recognizes librarians as academic employees.
Any new librarian title shall be subject to meeting and conferring to determine bargaining
unit status. If the University proposes to move an individual or a position in the Librarian

and, upon request, will meet and confer concerning the impact of the action. If the
University proposes to create a new position in the bargaining unit, it shall give notice to
the UC-AFT and, upon request, will meet and confer concerning the impact of the action.
