Contract Update - April 28, 2017 - More FAQ's

Colleagues,

Some questions that have come up about the contract information we sent out yesterday.

1) Reading the Salary Guides - There are two versions of the salary guides. The ones from the actual contract book and a progressions document we put together for the Building Reps and on our website to help people see more clearly where they are.

If you are looking at the contract book salary guides, you would trace them diagonally as you move up a step each year.

If you are looking at the salary progressions, you can just go horizontally across each line from your current base salary.

NTU Update - April 21

Colleagues,

1) Contract Update: The NTU Negotiations Committee met several days over vacation to work around some roadblocks to the contract's progress. For the entire week this week, internal meetings amongst committee members, and negotiations meetings with NPS were held. As of now, we can only firmly state that we have reached tentative agreements on the following:

1. We have reviewed and cleaned up language that was conflicting in the previous CBA.

2. We have a tentative agreement language and terms for the new CBA.

The last component we are negotiating is the actual salary guides.

Contract Update - April 7, 2017

Colleagues,

Last Tuesday, we came close to finalizing a deal with the Newark Public Schools, but thankfully the NTU negotiations team caught some last minute issues and wisely pumped the brakes.

While you will not go on break with a new contract, you will go on break knowing your negotiations team will be working over the next week and as long as it takes to get to the end of this road.

I believe we have hit a speed bump, but it's not a roadblock, and that a contract is still reachable. We will only bring to you for ratification a contract that I and your Executive Board can confidently endorse.
