Would a house staff union decrease the flexibility of individual departments to provide benefits to their residents?
No. The purpose of negotiating a contract is to increase the options available to residents, not to decrease flexibility. Any contract that we negotiate would absolutely preserve the flexibility that individual programs have to award extra benefits. Contracts are designed to raise basic standards for all residents. However, if a department wishes to provide a benefit to its residents that we cannot win for all residents, they are free to continue to provide that benefit.
