Dear Colleagues,
The PSC bargaining team and CUNY negotiators have reached agreement on a new contract with the final document, the proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), signed on December 16. It includes across-the-board raises of 13.4%, compounded, retroactive pay, additional equity raises for adjuncts, graduate assistants and other lowest-paid titles, and a ratification bonus for full-time PSC members of $3000, prorated for part-timers. The Delegate Assembly is considering it today and, should the DA vote to recommend, it moves to a union-wide ratification vote, which will be administered online and by phone.
We’re reaching out to invite you to a Committee for Adjuncts and Part-timers meeting to discuss the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or the terms and conditions of our new contract and the significant provisions affecting adjuncts and part-timers. This is a vital opportunity to understand how these changes impact our work and future:
