Daily News | Rutgers strike is suspended, sending faculty back to work with a ‘framework’ for new contracts
After five days and the personal attention of Gov. Phil Murphy, the first strike by faculty in Rutgers University’s history appears to be nearing an end.
“Our historic strike got us to this point. And let us be clear, a suspension of our strike is not a cancellation,” a According to university administration, the framework includes a 43.8% increase in the per-credit salary rate for part-time lecturers over the four years of the contract and improvements to their job security, and a 27.9% increase in the minimum salary for postdoctoral fellows and associates over the same period. Teaching assistants and graduate assistants will see their 10-month salaries increase to $40,000 over the course of the contract, the university said.
