On December 1, 2009, our New School Unit unanimously ratified its new contract with The New School. It builds in many
areas where we had broken ground in our first contract.
Summary of the Memorandum of Agreement
"New School part timers win contract with not only raises, but family
leaves, differential titles and a commitment to representation on curricular committees."
"... a new contract that, for the first time, gives them the right
to take leave for birth, adoption, or the care of a sick child ... a greater say in curriculum decisions and allows them to
maintain their health benefits when their classes are canceled for reasons such as low enrollment"
We thank you for all your dedication to our union and especially all of you who worked to help make this possible.
