UCATS Ratifies Contract with NYU

This week the Union of Clerical, Administrative, and Technical Staff, NYSUT Local 3882 (UCATS) announced the ratification of their contract with NYU.

The contract, which includes an immediate 3% wage increase, followed by a 2.5% increase in each subsequent year, had expired in October and a tentative agreement was reached in December following a series of rallies by UCATS members.

An excerpt of the statement from UCATS President Stephen Rechner following the ratification said: “We believe that the wage increases and other improvements we negotiated with NYU represent a meaningful investment in our members who deliver outstanding educational and support services to students and faculty each and every day.”
