Here's the report Rosemary read to Presidents' Council today.
We are curious why, when every other group at CCC got approximately 10% in compensation increases over 3 years, we are being offered a PAY CUT of 4.05%. This is incongruent with the College's statements that Part-Time Faculty are valued and valuable employees.
Courtney Wilton said in September, 2009 (at Board of Education meeting) that he had set aside enough money for bargaining, assuming salary raises for all groups would be about 1% per year for each of 3 years. It sounded as if he intended to include Part-Time Faculty. But, they haven't offered anything close to 1%.
Did he mis-speak or just fail to mention that part-terms were not included in that plan? Or, was the cut offered to us intended to to pay for the raises everyone else got?
We are curious. And disappointed.
Note: the Cost of Living Index rose by 1.6% last year. If you subtract the .25% we were offered, that leaves a LOSS of 1.35% per year, times 3 years would be 4.05%. Or, calculate 1.6% times 3 = 4.8% minus .75% = 4.05%. Either way, it's a PAY CUT!
The 2010 CPI-U for Portland is a public records document.
Stay tuned...
In solidarity,
Rosemary
