March 3 Update

We had a great bargaining session on Thursday with wide representation from LaGuardia, City Tech, and the Graduate Center. For the first time, RF management's wage proposal included our concept of a floor for annual increases. Thus, no employee can receive less than a minimum dollar amount even if it results in a higher percentage increase than that received by higher-paid employees. This benefits the lowest-paid workers and is a huge step towards final settlement given that RF representatives had previously insisted on exclusively percentage-based increases.

Negotiations have clearly reached a crucial moment. If we all commit this week to do something to push these negotiations forward, we may be able to bring them to a conclusion very soon.
