TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) is reviewing the recommendations of the Fact Finder’s Report from the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC)<\/a> in the ongoing contract negotiations between the college and the Faculty Association affiliates of the Michigan Education Association.<\/p>\n

The report was released late Thursday, August 22. The college filed a petition for Fact Finding January 17, 2019 in an effort to advance negotiations following several bargaining sessions including a State of Michigan mediator. The contracts expired December 31, 2018.<\/p>\n

Fact Finding allows a neutral, state-appointed representative to create a non-binding report on the remaining disputes.<\/p>\n

Executive Director of Public Relations, Marketing and Communication, Diana Fairbanks said, “The college is now reviewing and evaluating the recommendations as a whole. The next step in this process is that both sides have an additional 60 days to negotiate a contract that serves the college and our communities well today and into the future.”<\/p>\n

Release date: August 23, 2019<\/h3>\n
