"Honest and respectful negotiation that leads to ... creating a better University where faculty are productive and appreciated." 

... and what about the importance of APT and clerical staff? Faculty have no problem accepting raises through collective bargaining while other employees (who make far less on average) get pay cuts. 

I will hand it to UHPA for fighting for its members, no matter the expense to the others who are not as fortunate in their positioning in the University.
