Labor negotiations at the University of Connecticut remain unresolved as contracts for thousands of employees expired at the end of June. Temporary one-year extensions have been approved for members of two major unions—AAUP and UCPEA—covering faculty and professional staff, but no new wage increases are included. Talks are ongoing, and similar delays have occurred in past years before eventual agreements were reached. The situation mirrors broader contract gridlock across Connecticut, where dozens of public sector unions are still operating without current agreements.
