over 4 years. 95% of them voted to strike. President Scholz is offering the UO faculty 9% over 3 years, and no goat. From the NYT:
The proposed deal would have delivered raises of 25 percent over the life of the four-year contract; the unions started the talks by asking for raises of 40 percent. Some workers who started from a lower base wage would have received bigger raises; for about 7,500 workers, pay would have increased 45 percent, while another 5,000 workers would have received raises of 53 percent, according to Boeing.
The rejected deal also would have provided each union member with a $3,000 ratification bonus. Boeing had also agreed to increase annual payments to the union 401(k) plan by up to $4,160 per worker, cover more of the cost of health care, provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave and make improvements to work-life balance, including reductions in mandatory overtime. The company also agreed to commit to building its next commercial plane in the Pacific Northwest.
How big is our incoming class?
Also if annual merit pools are too much work and too much fighting why can’t we give it to the deans to do merit evaluations and raises on our 3 year professional review cycles or just our 6 year promotion cycles and get rid of the department games over merit.
I hope UO is doing better than Boeing. Whose stock has gone nowhere the last 8 years. So lost considerable value after inflation. No current profits or dividends.
How big is the incoming class? I would think if the news was good, we’d be hearing by now.
Let’s just say that the much hyped “Flutie Effect” is not bringing in the out-of-state students that AD Rob Mullens promised. Which reminds me that I should file a request for his new contract, to see how much Scholz has docked his merit pay.
