By a vote of 112-1, dues-paying members of our Union have ratified a new contract with the College. The Board of Trustees is expected to approve the contract at their regular meeting later this month.

The tentative contract between your Union and the College is ready for your approval. Thanks in part to your input and presence at a number of Board of Trustees meetings, the proposed contract includes significant gains in the salary and working conditions of all our colleagues.

We encourage you to vote YES to ratify the new contract. If you are a dues-paying member of the union, click on Contract Ratification to review the proposed articles that are different from our existing contract and then vote for or against ratification. Only dues-paying members may vote.

Voting will end at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 5, 2018.

William "Will" Dawley was appointed to fill the remainder of the term of our elected treasurer, Julie Graboi. Though, unfortunately, Julie's tenure as treasurer was short, we thank her for her service and look forward to continuing to receive her thoughtful insights on improving the working conditions of our Associate Faculty colleagues. We'll introduce Will to you in our next newsletter.
