Harvard University reached tentative agreement on a contract with the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers
Monday morning calling for an pay increase over the next three years.
On April 2, the approximately 4,600 union members will vote on whether
to ratify the agreement, according to a letter written by the clerical
and technical workers union. If ratified, the deal will be made
retroactively effective July 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2015. The
tentative agreement came after roughly a year of negotiations. “This is
the most protracted and difficult negotiations we’ve had in 25 years
together,” Bill Jaeger, director of the union, said Monday in a
telephone interview. … According to the union, the deal includes a
first-year salary increase, which provides a 3.4 percent raise for a
union member who has worked at Harvard for a minimum of a year and
receives an average full-time salary of $51,000. |
