Contract Campaign Resource Center

Our union has begun bargaining for our next contract, and we’re mobilizing the power of faculty members, grad workers, postdocs, staff, students, and communities behind our demands for #TheRutgersWeDeserve. We’ve centralized our union resources the campaign on this page. If you want to get involved with our union to work on winning a fair contract, click the button below and fill out the form!

#RutgersHasTheMoney

Read some not-so-fun facts about the Rutgers budget and management’s upside-down priorities. Howard Bunsis, a higher ed finances expert, showed in his town hall presentation that Rutgers is in strong financial shape, and this fact sheet from our union’s University Budget and Priorities Committee proves the administration has the money to meet all of our demands..
