Bargaining Report #2

 

Bargaining committee representatives of KCUR 89.3 and Classical KC 91.9 FM, alongside leaders of CWA Local 6360 and CWA Representative Gerald Murray, met with the University of Missouri – Kansas City for their second bargaining session on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

 The CWA Bargaining committee passed numerous bargaining proposals to the University for negotiation. Some of the proposals included:

  • AI language (Artificial Intelligence)  
  • Deduction of Union Dues
  • Grievance Procedures
  • Grievance Investigation Representatives
  • Pay for Grievance Time
  • Safety
  • Parking
  • Reservation of Management Rights

Following thorough discussions, the Bargaining Committee anticipates feedback from the University at our upcoming meeting. 

The CWA bargaining committee inquired about a Sunshine Law request pertaining to a line-item budget for KCUR and Classical KC. The University presented a summarized budget and recommended that the Union submit a Sunshine Law request for transactional-level information. The University representatives indicated they would share the summarized budget without further requests.

University representatives have indicated their unavailability during the month of October. However, the parties have scheduled subsequent meetings for November 3rd, from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM, and November 5th, from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM.

In Solidarity,
CWA/KCUR Bargaining Committee
