BARGAINING ON MONDAY

Many thanks to all of you who took the time to let me hear about your experiences and thoughts about distance learning and office hours. All your comments will be presented to the Bargaining Team.

Also, remember that anyone can attend bargaining sessions. We'll be bargaining again Monday, July 16, at 1pm in Room 416. You'd be welcome!

Collective Bargaining

This year's bargaining team has been negotiating two main issues - distance learning and salaries. We'll be negotiating again tomorrow (June 20th) in Room 416 at 1:00 and the sessions are open. Just a reminder....the chief negotiator does the talking :->

It seems that we are close to agreement on both Article 15 and Article 18. Of course, the article of greatest interest to most faculty is salaries. The administration has offered a 5% increase to the base and a $3 increase to the overload. PJCFA has asked that the administration look at increasing the initial hire salary by 5% and increasing the salary of all returning faculty by a higher amount to keep salary compression from taking place.

Patricia Reppenhagen and Pete Falzone have both presented position pieces addressing salary issues to the team and Dr. Samuels.

Members of this year's team are Chief Negotiator Tom Grow, Paige Anderson, Cynthia App, Rich Cacace, Pete Falzone, and Patricia Reppenhagen. If you are interested in serving on next year's team, please let me know. There will be training opportunities coming up throughout the year and PJCFA would like for those interested in serving as negotiators to be able to attend.
