PSC Reaches Memorandum of Agreement with CUNY

The Professional Staff Congress has reached a tentative contract agreement with the City University of New York that will provide 13.4 percent in compounded raises and increase the minimum pay for adjuncts by 29 percent over the course of the pact.

The tentative deal, covering about 30,000 faculty, adjuncts and other staff in the public university system, was announced Monday and spans from March 1, 2023 through Nov. 30, 2027. The union’s rank and file will vote on the contract’s terms in the coming weeks.

“I’m proud to recommend an agreement to PSC members that delivers gains for all faculty, staff, and graduate employees at CUNY and respects the quality and importance of their work,” Davis said in a statement. “By securing better pay and working conditions, stronger benefits and additional equity raises for adjuncts and our lowest-paid full-time colleagues, we are making CUNY a better place to work and learn…. Ultimately, this contract will mean a better education for CUNY students. That’s a goal we all share.” Read more in The Chief-Leader, Gothamist, and the NY Daily News.
