Contract Bargaining
The MSP resumed negotiations for our 2021-2023 successor contract in March 2021.
Please see our list of 2021 bargaining principles. Our priorities remain:
- Salary and benefits (across the board raises, merit, better dental and vision)
- Issues pertaining to Non-Tenure-Track faculty (expanding the Professional Improvement Leave program, introducing a Teaching Tenure Track, calculating continuing appointment by semesters not FTE)
- Online education (defining multi-modal as two courses, payment or workload adjustments for developing online courses)
- Gender and racial equity (more equitable workload processes, increasing pathway hires)
- Climate justice and sustainability (closing campus the week of thanksgiving and between Christmas and New Year’s, reducing food waste, eliminating plastic water bottles from campus)
The Contract Bargaining Team consists of Eve Weinbaum (Labor Center), Asha Nadkarni (English), Jacquie Kurland (Communication Disorders), Marc Liberatore (Computer Science), Kate Zdepski (Libraries), Heather LaPenn (MTA), Mickey Gallagher (MSP) and Lori Reardon (MSP).
