  • When Rutgers management announced it was breaking last year's deferral agreement and our contracts, it made a bad call. We all deserve respect for the work we do at Rutgers—whether it is cleaning the campus, counseling students, keeping financial records, or teaching classes. Rutgers management is showing a basic lack of respect for workers and the integrity of a contract.

    The Rutgers Labor Council, representing more than 10,000 unionized workers in AFT and AFSCME, is calling on state legislators to demand that Rutgers management reverse the decision to withhold negotiated raises. Please make the call right now.
