Dear Members,

Below you’ll find the details of the compensation proposal that the FAMCO negotiating team presented to the administration at the bargaining table on July 9th.

In brief, FAMCO demonstrated that the university is 1) in solid financial shape; 2) can afford to compensate faculty fairly; and 3) can afford to restore our lost real earnings while also keeping our salaries at pace with the current cost of living. 

For additional background, please also find the in-depth analysis of Monmouth University’s solid financial health conducted by the AAUP for FAMCO, which was also shared with the administration at this week’s session.

Thank you to our great colleagues who joined us in bargaining this week as faculty observers. We encourage all of our members to play a role in our upcoming bargaining sessions in this capacity.  Please reach out to Amanda Stojanov, Contract Action Team co-captain, to sign up to observe and to help ensure the strong contract you deserve.

This week’s observers from left to right: Patrick O’Halloran (Economics and Finance), Jon Daigle (Economics and Finance); Pauline Papapietro (Physician Assistants); Amanda Stojanov (Communication); Nick Messina (Communication)

If you have any questions about the presentation attached, or FAMCO’s contract campaign platform, please reach out to any member of the negotiating team.

Sincerely, 
Your FAMCO Bargaining Team
