A Call For Better Management
In December 2007 administrative workers at Rutgers agreed to a union contract with protection against unjust discipline or termination, discrimination or retaliation for union activities. But less than one year later, bad RU managers are laying-off out of seniority as punishment, penalizing sick or injured workers and terminating workers without just cause.
- Members lose their jobs for exercising their rights under the contract;
- management fires employees and then tells the union “we have no record of evidence;”
- employees with long service and unique skills are laid off and important health and safety work is given to temps.
Accordingly, the Union of Rutgers Administrators-American Federation of Teachers has issued a failing report card for Rutgers management. Tell Rutgers management to reform their ways, treat workers fairly and have compassion for sick or injured workers.
Please take a moment to sign the report card petition and we will present it to Rutgers management.

Subject: Bad Management Not Passing at RU
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Rutgers management should respect workers' rights, negotiated contracts and the law. There is no reason for management at this fine university to treat workers poorly.
The Rutgers community is watching closely after seeing this awful report card and wants to see improvement.
Reverse unfair layoffs. Show respect to workers who have dedicated their professional lives to serving the Rutgers community.
Give sick and injured workers the opportunity to heal then return to work.
Honor the grievance process by giving workers the opportunity to defend themselves from unfair terminations.
