University of the Arts employees 'have been left without clear answers as to when their benefits will run out and when or if they will be paid for work already completed,' a union official said.
University of the Arts employees"have been left without clear answers as to when their benefits will run out and when or if they will be paid for work already completed," a union official said.the Arts leaders still in short supply and communication at a minimum, the union that represents faculty and staff of the now-closed school have filed new charges against it.
More than 600 employees were laid off June 7, but some workers were asked to stay as part of a “wind down team.”“The University of the Arts has behaved disgracefully throughout this painful and prolonged process,” Daniel Pieczkolon, union president, said in a statement. “UAP Members have been left without clear answers as to when their benefits will run out and when or if they will be paid for work already completed.
One bargaining session was held, on June 20; at that session, university officials said UArts did not appear to have enough money to pay workers the minimum owed them under federal law. The university representatives made no proposals on health insurance, severance or other benefits and said they had no concrete information on the university’s finances, labor leaders have said.
