On March 24th, the FAMCO Bargaining team convened with the administration to discuss healthcare in our first meeting since Fall 2022. Our primary objective remains securing lower premiums for faculty–who have been overpaying for healthcare–and we demand transparency and accountability over rising costs, given faculty’s critical role in fulfilling the university’s mission. Ahead of this meeting, FAMCO requested pertinent data, including annual budget reports and settlements received by Monmouth from Horizon between 2019-2022. We are currently analyzing this data with our expert consultant.

FAMCO leadership will keep its members updated on the developments in the bargaining process and organize future debriefing sessions after the meetings. The Union’s strength lies in its members, so we urge you to stay tuned and show your support. Go Union!
