►Our raises: You should have received your cost of living raise back to May 3rd, 2015 in your last paycheck. You will receive your merit pay hopefully in your June 19th paycheck back to May 3rd. The university is still working on these. We are still trying to get your full (instead of only 2 month) raises for this year.
JOIN US WEDNESDAY, MAY 13TH AT NOON ON THE PLAZA BY THE CAMPUS CENTER AND DEMAND THAT UMASS PAY THE NEGOTIATED RAISES WHILE HOLDING THE LINE ON STUDENT TUITION AND FEES
If you have not yet signed the petition demanding this, please sign it here.
Please sign the petition asking that your full raises for this year be paid.
Please circulate this widely. We are tabling this week as well to spread the word that the UMass President is saying he won’t pay our full raises without increasing student tuition and fees to pay for this, when he was given the money for our raises last summer.
UMass has agreed to pay us our raises starting May 3, 2015. Because this includes only 2 out of 12 months you should have had an increased paycheck, rather than receiving up to a 3.5% salary increase this year, you will be receiving a whopping 0.4-0.6% increase.
