LB 397 and Amendment 1116

Currently before the unicameral are LB 397 with pending amendment 1116, which seek to reduce public employees’ collective bargaining rights. Read UNO AAUP’s response, and contact your senator to voice your opinion.

The proposed legislation would eliminate the Special Master process used in establishing salaries and benefits. The UNO chapter of AAUP strongly supports the maintenance of the Special Master process as a mechanism that is fair, efficient, and effective in resolving disputes.
