Contract ratified

Dear Colleagues,

The Union is pleased to announce that the faculty overwhelmingly voted to ratify the contract.  I will be meeting with Roger Brown in the near future to sign the agreement.  Retroactive raises are expected in the December 13th check.  

I would like to thank the bargaining team for their dedication and hard work in getting this done.  

Congratulations,

Jackson Schultz
President, Berklee Faculty Union
