The 76% are worth more than $48 and 4 steps.

9/12/2018

At our first open bargaining session on September 11, The College countered our salary proposal by offering us what amounts to a $48 per-credit-hour raise over the next three years.

The College rejected 3 of our 5 Benefits Proposals:

MCC Tuition Waiver
Professional Development Fund
Health, Dental, and Optical Coverage

The College countered 1 of our 5 Benefits Proposals:

Tuition Reimbursement Program (TRP)
- The College proposed to keep the TRP language the same (an annual fund for adjuncts to take classes at MCC and other institutions).
- The College rejected AAFMCC's revisions to modify/expand the program to include MCC Tuition Waiver for spouses/partners/dependents.

The College accepted a portion of 1 of our 5 Benefits Proposals:

YES to PTO for Bereavement
NO to increasing PTO to 2 personal and 2 sick days per semester

Finally, The College also rejected our Pay Rates proposal to add additional steps to our salary schedule.

The Problem with our 4-Step Salary Schedule

The College reported that "over 90% of adjuncts" are currently at step 4.
- Under these current conditions, 90% of us--regardless of our continued service to The College--have no opportunity for upward financial mobility.
MCC has 9 different bargaining units, and AAFMCC is by far the largest unit at The College.
Other than the Command Officers (POLCCO), which have two steps (sergeant and lieutenant), the other 7 bargaining units all have more than 4 steps.
Some of the units also have additional salary levels within each step:

MCC adjuncts deserve a respectable living wage. We, like the other bargaining units, also deserve a multiple-step salary schedule that rewards our years of service.

We are worth more than $48.
We are worth more than 4 steps.
