SITUAM Rejects UAM Pay Offer as Feb. 1 Strike Deadline Nears

Union leaders say the university’s package fails to restore purchasing power.

Overview

  • A walkout would start on Feb. 1 at 23:00 if no deal is reached, and the union says it will not extend the deadline.
  • UAM’s package offers a 4% salary raise, a weighted tabulator adjustment of 2% for administrative staff and 3% for certain academics, a 0.7% emergent increase, and higher benefits.
  • The university details include a 6% increase to the monthly food voucher, an 11% boost to the annual voucher, and a 30% increase to the retirement fund and life insurance amounts.
  • SITUAM is demanding a 30% direct salary increase and a 20% tabulator adjustment for all base workers.
  • Beyond pay, the union maintains a third complaint over Collective Bargaining Agreement violations with more than 100 claims, and reports progress gaps on 32 requested clause changes after receiving 24 proposals from UAM.
