ATTENTION: EMPLOYEES IN THE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE UNIT:
Kansas State University and the Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE) are currently involved in meet and confer (or negotiations) towards a new memorandum of agreement. KAPE represents our Service and Maintenance employees and you are in that unit.
Recently, the Kansas Board of Regents voted to allow an increased vacation benefit to USS employees of its institutions. However, the law requires that the university and KAPE meet and confer (or negotiate) on mandatory topics of bargaining and we are in the process of doing so. Any change to vacation accrual for employees in this unit will be effective after a successor agreement is finalized and approved by the parties, the Kansas Board of Regents and the Secretary of Administration, as required by state law.
Questions about the union’s position should be referred to the KAPE union president, Bill Glover, at buckiglover@sbcglobal.net or 785-770-9264. Thank you.
