More than 13 months into contract negotiations, after 53 bargaining sessions and the arrival of 28 tentative agreements, negotiations between the Yale police union and the University remain contentious.
Eight months into contract negotiations, the Yale police union protested the University’s contract offers and also received criticism for their proposal to limit civilian complaints
Amid contract negotiations, the union characterized the YPD Investigative Services Unit as understaffed and inefficient in a letter to University officials while also attempting to impose a 60-day limit on filing civilian complaints of police misconduct.
After the Yale police union’s contract expired on June 30, negotiations have proceeded at a slow pace, with each side pointing to the difficult negotiations process as the other side’s fault.
