Official Meeting Notice Attached

August 23, 2024: In-Unit Increases

In-unit Faculty Increases for Market Equity:  The University and UFF are actively engaged in ongoing negotiations on a successor CBA following the expiration of the parties’ previous CBA on August 7, 2024.  The parties have held multiple bargaining sessions to date, and Å·ÃÀÈý¼¶Æ¬ remains committed to bargaining in good faith to reach a new agreement.  In the absence of a formal wages proposal from the union, and in an effort to provide much-deserved increases to in-unit faculty without further delay, the University has authorized a three percent (3%) discretionary pool to be distributed to eligible in-unit faculty pursuant to the University’s continuing discretionary authority to provide salary adjustments for market equity. These adjustments will be effective October 11, 2024, and will be reflected on paychecks beginning November 1, 2024. 

Eligible faculty are those whose most recent performance evaluations are satisfactory and above (a minimum score on the most recent annual evaluation of at least 3.0 on a 5.0 point numerical rating scale) and who do not have any active performance improvement plans as of the effective date of the increase.  New hires with no evaluation are excluded from this pool, as are faculty with no evaluation on file within the past two academic years. 
 
In-unit Increases for PBA & GAU: The University will abide by the specific negotiated wage provisions contained in the current CBAs between the University and PBA or GAU, as applicable. 

Increases for Employees Previously Represented by AFSCME and SEIU: Although AFSCME and SEIU have been decertified by the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) and, consequently those CBAs ceased to exist, the University will honor the previously-negotiated wage increases contained in the two now-defunct CBAs.
