Academic –Administrative Personnel Federation – Local 3983
Your Negotiating Team continues to meet with the Administration of County College of Morris. Our most recent meetings were held May 26th & June 7th. Due to our confidentiality agreement, I cannot share specifics of the most recent offer, however, we do not feel the offer made was fair and equitable and did not accept it. I can share that you should not expect financial increases like you have received in the past, especially since all public sector contracts remain under the microscope in the Governor’s office. We are standing firm for a fair contract but also are striving to maintain as much of the contractual benefits we have experienced.
I am pleased to share that some language items have been agreed upon and are off the table. During these difficult times, negotiations can take longer than usual. I continue to ask for your patience.
Our next meeting with Administration is scheduled for June 16, 2010.
It is important to note, that regardless of the state of our contract, 1.5% of base pay for health care contribution becomes effective July 1st as legislated for members participating in our plan.
