Last year, the Faculty Association of Monmouth University (FAMCO) concluded intensive negotiation with the Monmouth University administration, focusing on rectifying long-standing problems with healthcare plans and costs. This detailed account by bargaining team members Megan Delaney, Gabrielle Hackenberg, and Amanda Stojanov retells the strategic and collaborative efforts FAMCO faculty and bargainers undertook to challenge the burden of inflated healthcare expenses unjustly imposed on faculty by the administration. FAMCO negotiators aimed not only to achieve a fair distribution of healthcare costs between the university and faculty but also to safeguard access to the high-quality preferred provider organization (PPO) plan amidst the university’s broader attempts to phase it out. Through a blend of robust organizing, transparent member communication, and a resolute stance against misleading narratives on healthcare costs, this account illuminates the power of collective action and the importance of informed bargaining strategies. The insights and takeaways from this article serve as a guiding beacon for others navigating the terrain of healthcare negotiations, and chronicle the significance of unity, clarity, and persistence in advocating for equitable and quality healthcare. Solidarity forever!
