Salary & Mert Arbitration Set: Two out of thirty-four state employee’s unions have not received their negotiated increase in salaries and merit pay for FY 27 – UConn-AAUP is one of them.
The arbitration date is set for January 14th, 2027. UConn-AAUP filed for arbitration due to lack of payment on August 23, 2026, and is asking for interest on the money that should be in your pocket, not in the university’s investment accounts.
Interest Arbitrations: UConn-AAUP is engaging in interest arbitration of Article 30 (Faculty Participation in Department Governance – Workload) and Article 14 (Reduction of Staff for Discontinuance of Programs or for Financial Exigency).
Article 14th Arbitration has occurred and Article 30 is scheduled for November 30th.
The arbitrator is the same for both cases, and we will receive both decisions together after November 30th.
CLAS Workload Arbitration Set for January 20th, 2027. UConn-AAUP has also filed for arbitration due to increases in course enrollments, increases in course assignments for CIRE faculty, decreases in course releases and reduction in TA allocations. That arbitration is also scheduled for this semester.
