The University and the UC-AFT acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted
in this Agreement, each party had the right and opportunity to make demands and
proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the area of
collective bargaining, and that this Agreement constitutes the entire contract arrived at
by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity.
This Memorandum of Understanding constitutes the entire Agreement between the
parties. Nevertheless, the University and the UC-AFT agree that the academic policies
identified in Appendix E, containing the policies which currently coincide with the
Academic Personnel Manual sections referred to below, shall continue to apply to unit
librarians for the duration of this Agreement.
The parties agree that the policies in Appendix E shall not be subject to the contractual
grievance and arbitration process.
If the University proposes to modify a term or condition of employment in Appendix E or
create or modify a term or condition of employment in the Academic Personnel Manual
that would apply to unit librarians during the term of this Agreement, the University shall
provide at least 30 days prior notice to the UC-AFT. If the UC-AFT wishes to meet and
confer over such proposed change, the UC-AFT shall inform the University of its
demand to bargain within 30 days of receipt of the University's notice. In its demand to
bargain, the UC-AFT shall inform the University as to how the proposed change affects a
mandatory subject of bargaining with respect to unit librarians.
The parties agree that the University shall be able to maintain its historic role of
consulting with the Librarians Association of the University of California (LAUC) with
respect to local policies and procedures involving peer review actions, the allocation of
professional development funds, and matters that are not covered by this Agreement or
are not otherwise subject to negotiation with the UC-AFT. Notwithstanding Section B
above, local campus policies and procedures directly pertaining to the granting of merit
increases, promotion, or the award of career status may be modified by the University
annually following appropriate consultation with LAUC.
Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, or upon the mutual consent of the
parties to seek written amendment thereto, the University and the UC-AFT, for the term
of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waive the right, and each agrees
that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or
matter whether or not raised during negotiations or specifically referred to or covered in
this Agreement, even though such subject or matter may not have been within the
knowledge or contemplation of the parties at the time they negotiated or signed this
Agreement.
