Union leaders were in for a surprise this afternoon when they were told that it wouldn’t be necessary to schedule talks for next week.
OUSD Spokesman said the administration felt the fact-finding report wasn’t a good starting point. “The fact-finding report acknowledged that we have an inability to pay, then asks for a significant financial contribution without indicating a revenue source, which is irresponsible and doesn’t provide the means to bridge the gap between the two parties,” he said.
He said the recommendations would cost about $5 million.
