ACsE Bargaining Report An update to the General Membership
ACsE Bargaining Report • For FY2010, the bargaining team is asking for a one-year extension of the current FY 2009 contract that should include: • At least a 3.5% across the board salary increase or whatever non-union employees get whichever is greater. • A longevity increase for employees in the SIUC system for 2 or more years.
What they have offered • A multi-year contract • 2.5% across the board (FY2010) • .5% longevity (FY2010) • The non-union employees are getting 3.5% salary increases
Is that fair? • Again the university wants to gives the lowest paid employees the lowest salary increases. • They want to lock us into a multi-year contract that may mean lower salary increases for several years. • We work as hard as the non-union employees but they offer us a full percentage point less. • We know you want the salary increase soon but do you want to settle for less than 3.5%? • We think we should still bargain for 3.5% and a longevity increase.
Why do we want longevity? • The following charts show some examples of the salary ranges in ACsE classifications. • We believe that an employee who has worked 10, 15, 20, or more years should make a significantly higher salary than someone who started yesterday.
For example: • A building service foreman with more than 25 years in service makes very little more than one with less than 5 years in services as this chart shows: • 25 years = $24.98 ($1.15 higher) • 10 years = $23.84 ($.01 higher) • less than 5 years = $23.83 • Shouldn’t the difference be greater?
How about this one? • A clerk with one year in service is making more than a clerk with nearly 25 years in service:
Some explanations: • Within-classification adjustments • Promotions • Move to new classification • These may explain some of the anomalies on the following charts but . . . • Shouldn’t someone who has worked for ten years make more than someone who starts today?
