After a nine-hour bargaining session Sunday, classes and labs resumed today as UIC United Faculty (UICUF) reached a tentative contract agreement. The contact includes increased minimum salaries for the lowest paid faculty, job protections and more.
UIC United Faculty members picket during their ongoing strike on Jan. 17, 2023.
“This contract contains important gains on the issues most important to our members,” UICUF President Aaron Krall said in a statement. “We are especially proud of winning $60,000 minimum salaries for our lowest paid members and the commitments on student wellness and disability testing.” UIC administrators said both parties were able to find “common ground” on a contract that addresses “various faculty concerns and bridges the gap in compensation offers.”
According to the union, the contact includes increased minimum salaries for the lowest paid faculty, an equity adjustment to base salaries for all faculty, a 5% average raise pool for each year of the contract, enhanced job protections for non-tenure faculty and expanded non-discrimination and anti-harassment policies.
