Greetings, The AAUP-AFT and the University administration have
reached a tentative agreement that will alter the payment of the
previously negotiated salary increases for academic years
2009-10 and 2010-11, but preserve the core missions of
There will be no implementation of unpaid furlough days on bargaining unit members. We believe that this is crucial to maintaining our outstanding instructional and research programs. There will be no delays in salary increases for Teaching Assistants, Graduate Assistants, and Part-Time Lecturers. We expect that our academic units can now proceed with the hiring of PTLs and scheduling courses. The July 1, 2009 salary increase of 5.5% will be delayed in the following manner: 2.75% will be paid to every unit member on January 1, 2010 as a regular increase (formerly "across-the-board"), and the other 2.75% will be paid as enhanced increases (formerly "FASIP") on July 1, 2010. The July 1, 2010 salary increase of 5.5% will also be delayed in two equal parts. 2.75% of the July 1 increase will be delayed for six months to January 1, 2011 and would be split between regular increases (1.375%) and the enhanced increase pool (1.375%). The other 2.75% will be delayed until June 30, 2011 and would also be split between regular increases (1.375%) and the enhanced increase pool (1.375%). The union's Executive Council will meet this afternoon to consider the agreement. The AAUP-AFT will then send out ratification ballots to your home address with further details on the settlement and voting instructions. If you have any questions regarding the agreement, you may contact the AAUP-AFT at aaup@rutgersaaup.org or 732-964-1000. Sincerely, Adrienne
Eaton, President |
