Rutgers AAUP-AFT: 50th Anniversary
Dear colleague, During our strike, negotiations in Trenton, with Governor Murphy’s staff participating, produced a Framework for new contracts that achieved important victories for our unions. But when the Rutgers administration came back to New Brunswick, they returned to their old tactics of delay and obstruction. There are important open issues that haven’t been addressed, so we …

We don’t have a tentative agreement until AAUP-BHSNJ’s …
Dear colleague, We will return to our classrooms, labs, and libraries today proud of the gains we have made—but ready and willing to keep fighting until we win a fair contract for ALL. Late Friday night, our unions approved a framework for a new contract and suspended our strike. The framework (you can read the …
Dear colleague, The leadership bodies of our three unions have voted to accept a framework for new contracts and to suspend our strike and return to work immediately. Ratification of a full Tentative Agreement, once reached, will be decided by a membership secret ballot. We believe we have secured profound victories for our unions in …
