NEWARK, N.J. (1010 WINS) — Rutgers University and three unions representing faculty at the school reached a tentative deal for a contract after staff launched the first strike in the college’s 257-year history.
Union leaders will vote on the contracts Sunday. If they approve, the contracts will go to a vote by the rank-and-file union membership.
Staff at the university effectively shut down the school by going on strike on April 10.
Faculty agreed to pause the strike after a week when leadership struck a tentative agreement with the administrators.
The details of the new contracts are not yet public, but union leaders, school administrators and Gov. Phil Murphy said across-the-board raises and enhanced job security for non-tenured staff were included in the tentative framework two weeks ago.
Conspicuously absent from that agreement was any concrete information regarding medical faculty, which make up one of the three unions engaged in the strike.
On Friday, a Rutgers spokesperson said the contract includes “new compensation programs” for medical staff.
