Over 20,000 faculty and staff at Rutgers University are currently in negotiations and working without contracts. They have gone at least three years without a raise while the cost of living, particularly health care costs in the state plan, have risen dramatically. Rutgers management is sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars in reserves while the hardworking faculty and staff fall behind. Now management has cancelled the bargaining sessions that were scheduled for this week.
Our goal is to call on the school administration to bargain in good faith with the faculty and staff who maintain a steadfast dedication to the education and success of university students and to the advancement of Rutgers University.
