Daily News | Rutgers unions representing faculty, grad students and adjuncts pass strike authorization vote
Faculty at Rutgers University overwhelmingly passed a measure that would give its negotiating team the authority to call a strike if necessary.The unions representing approximately 8,000 full-time faculty, graduate students, adjuncts, postdoctoral associates, and counselors announced the results of the vote, held over 10 days, on Friday afternoon. About 94% voted in favor, with about 80% of members voting, the union said.
“The ball is in their court,” Givan said in a statement. “The administration can decide to keep us in our classrooms, labs, and libraries if they respond with serious offers that meet the urgent needs we’ve identified with our contract proposals. But if they continue to drag their feet, our members are fed up with being disrespected and dismissed.”
“The administration has already met with our union negotiating teams 100 times and will meet with them another 100 times if that’s what it takes to reach agreements over contracts that are fair, reasonable, and responsible,” Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway said in a statement to the university community.
Rutgers’ administration last week offered a proposed contract with a wage increase of 10.75% over four years, he said, and a one-time lump sum of 1% of base salary this year.
