Press Release Regarding TRO - January 15, 2010

— filed under:

It is extraordinary that thus far the Circuit Court has not responded to the motion made by UHPA for a Temporary Restraining Order that would have prevented the unilateral 6.667% reduction in the paychecks received by faculty members today.

UHPA filed the motion of January 6th immediately upon the announcement from UH President M.R.C Greenwood that she would breach the bargaining unit 7 continuing contract by imposing salary reductions.  We believe playing by the rules and honoring your word is important in collective bargaining.  We turned to the courts for relief.  Although we have not yet received a court hearing date, we have faith in the justice system. Judge Derrick Chan is an experienced jurist and we have no doubt that he will act responsibly.  We will continue to pursue redress from courts for this action by the UH administration.
