CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS END

On Friday, September 16, the union bargaining team met with the BOT team to continue salary negotiations.  The union presented its counter-proposal of a 2 percent raise on base this academic year.  The BOT accepted the proposal but added a salary of 1 percent on base and 1 percent bonus for the next two academic years.  The union added the word minimum to the BOT proposal and the change was accepted.  This guarantees all full time faculty a 1 percent raise and a 1 percent bonus for the 2017 -2018 and 2018-2019.  Adding the word minimum to the proposal will allow the union to accept more than the 1 and 1 if the funding situation changes.
Both teams tentatively agreed on the proposal and the contract is now ready for ratification.

Ratification Vote 

We will hold a ratification vote on Monday, September 19 to approve the contract.  We are posting the proposed contract below if you would like to look it over.  This is a version that may need some minor editing, but it will give you a good idea of what changes have been made in contract language.
