The University of Alaska Board of Regents voted on Monday to implement faculty pay increases over the next three years, despite the university and its faculty union still not coming to an agreement. The university and union have been negotiating the terms of its collective bargaining agreement for several months. University staff claimed an impasse had been reached in negotiations and the increases of 3%, 2.5% and 2% over three years are its “best and final offer.
Rickard said the two entities have gone through federal mediation before, which resulted in the agreement that was reached in 2017. He’s hopeful they’ll reach an agreement again this go-around. “We’re trying to get the university to provide real cost of living adjustments that match inflation,” Rickard said. What the university plans to implement “provides raises of about seven and a half percent over the next three years. That’s not even the Consumer Price Index for the last 12 months, let alone what inflation may be going forward for the next three years.”
