Greetings,

Part-Time Lecturers should receive their salary increases on time. The salary increases are set to go into effect on September 1, 2009, and should go forward in accordance with the Collective Agreement. The administration has indicated that departments should go ahead with plans to hire Part-Time Lecturers. 

It is clear, without a union, PTL salary increases would not have been protected. Be part of a winning team! Join today.

You are a representation fee payer but not yet a full member of the union. Join the union that protected your salary increase today. We will be even more effective in the future when your membership is added in! Contact us if you have any questions: 732-964-1000.

Specific Details of Salary Increases in the PTL Collective Agreement

Across-the-Board Increases

Effective September 1 for the Fall Semester 2009, PTLs will receive a 3.0% increase to their base salary or the applicable minimum base salary rate, whichever is higher.

Increases to the Minimum

Effective on September 1, 2009, the minimum base salary rate will be $1410 per credit, except for courses involving "N" credits in Academic Foundations in Newark and in the PALS program. The hourly rate for instruction in the PALS program will be $42.00 per hours for the Intensive and Evening programs and $47.00 for the Corporate Program. For PTLs teaching in Academic Foundations courses in Newark, the minimum will be $1310 per class period.

In addition, another 3% increase is scheduled for implementation in the Spring 2010 semester.

With the conclusion of discussions related to the full-time faculty contract, full-time faculty will be voting on a tentative settlement that contains a delay in their salary increases, except that Teaching Assistants and Graduate Assistants will not have a delay. 

We thank all the members for their support during this difficult time, including the full-time faculty chapter of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT for solidarity that helped PTLs defend the salary increases due to us under our contract. Solidarity was essential in this effort.  

I
n Solidarity,

Mike Slott
President, Rutgers PTLFC AAUP-AFT
