Temple reaches another tentative agreement with the striking graduate student union

But this time, its leadership is backing the agreement. Last time, the negotiating team for TUGSA agreed to put the proposal before members without taking a position.TUGSA’s negotiating team and executive board “are unanimously endorsing this agreement because it addresses the union’s core demands of increased wages, more affordable dependent healthcare, reasonable leave policies, and better working conditions,” TUGSA said in a news release late Thursday night.

TUGSA did not release details of the agreement. The university could not be reached for immediate comment. Earlier this week, the university said it would continue to pay for striking graduate students’ health care insurance. That was a departure from its previous stance, which yielded much criticism for the university.Temple reports progress in negotiations with striking grad students and plans to meet again Wednesday

Temple did not release details of the tentative agreement. The last public offer included a 10% raise retroactive to Feb. 1 and another 5% in August, in addition to a $1,000 one-time payment, small increases in subsequent years, tuition remission and free health care insurance for the students, but nothing for their dependents.
